# Developing with directory buckets
<a name="s3-express-developing"></a>

After you create your directory bucket, you can then immediately begin very low-latency reads and writes. You can communicate with your directory bucket by using an endpoint connection over a virtual private cloud (VPC), or you can use Zonal and Regional API operations to manage your objects and directory buckets. You can work with directory buckets by using the AWS SDKs, Amazon S3 console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), and Amazon S3 REST APIs.
