This combined with the read-after-write consistency guarantee is a perfect building block (pun intended) for incremental append only storage atop an object store. It solves the biggest problem with coordinating multiple writers to a WAL.

Honestly if it was fast and uninvasive, I wouldn't mind it at all

What is stopping you not doing it now? I know Q is not good (hallucinates, slow, requires sign in) But it's wise to explain what your gripe is about than saying which you can always do.

Finally. GCP has had this for a long time. Years ago I was surprised S3 didn’t.

Be still my beating heart. I have lived to see this day.

Genuinely, we've wanted this for ages and we got half way there with strong consistency.

GCS is just missing x-amz-copy-source-range in my book.

Can we have this Google?

…

Please?

My gripe was with the Explainer modal that covers the entire article upon visiting the site.
