And hopefully now there's an API that is acceptable enough for the many many many "s3 compatible" APIs to start re-implementing.

I guess we will soon see something like SQLite on S3 (i.e. the Write Ahead Log)

S3 also has chunked uploads with trailing headers, which S3 Mountpoint relies on and enables writing to a file with the file actually being S3. The only difference of appends is that you don’t need to finish your upload before it can be read

Allowing a MultipartUpload without a CompleteMultipartUpload (which seems to be what this is) kinda messes with the "contracts" of the S3 API, but 🤷‍♂️. *although*, on extending the S3 API, we at Minio did recently come out with an S3 PROMPT API to ask questions to objects: blog.min.io/chat-with-ob...

Very cool, especially for transcoding. It seems you can also read the file as it is being written? I'm very curious how object integrity is maintained as it gets appended to.

Azure has had append blob for a while. Great for logging
