PicoMQ works with any S3-compatible object store. But I wasn't aware of GCS Rapid Bucket, it sounds a lot like AWS S3 Express, which is also zonal. And it does help with durability ACK latency quite a bit, keeping it closer to ~50ms.
I'll be setting up a GCP deployment example similar to AWS soon. I'll be sure to try Rapid Bucket as well, thanks for sharing!
Ah, S3 Express does look like the same thing! Looks like directory buckets S3 Express also allows appending to any object, while I believe GCS only allows you to append to a new object and then "finalize" it.
I would also check out Tigris [1], which has an S3-compatible API. Their main claim to fame is that buckets are low-latency, multi-region and replicated by default, so supposedly you get region-local latency no matter where you are reading or writing from. I have not done any rigorous performance comparisons, though. What's amazing, if it does perform well, is that egress is free, and the pricing is otherwise the same as GCS/S3.

Totally agree! Tigris is awesome, although I haven't used it at scale. PicoMQ (even cluster mode) is a one click deployment on Fly.io and they use Tigris as the Object Store. https://picomq.com/docs/operations/deployment/fly
