S3 is a block store; not something you can really stream to.

However it might be interesting to stream WAL logs to e.g. AWS Kinesis....

You can open multi-part transfers and close out the transfer when you're ready, which can be used so that it is very close to streaming; for this case perhaps it's close enough to try with wall-g if it otherwise supports it.

You're right. S3 is an object store and doesn't support the append operation, which is required for what I want to do. Thanks!
