Appendable objects in zonal buckets let you incrementally add data to an object without rewriting the entire object, which helps you manage continuously flowing data. Zonal buckets are available through Rapid Bucket and use the Rapid storage class, a high-performance storage class that's optimized for I/O-intensive workloads.
This document describes how to create, write to, and read appendable objects. It also shows you how to pause, resume, and finalize objects, read the tail end of objects, and optimize write latency with a pool of pre-opened writers. Before you start, you might want to learn how to create a zonal bucket and upload objects to a bucket.

Optimize write latency
If you maintain your own gRPC parallel write logic, consider using a pool of pre-opened writers on unfinalized appendable objects. Because each writer's object is already created and its stream is already open, your application can append data immediately instead of waiting for object creation and stream setup when it needs to write.
