+# Examples of writing to Sinks
+
+This module contains example pipelines that use the [Beam IO connectors](https://beam.apache.org/documentation/io/connectors/) also known as Sinks to write in streaming and batch.
+
+## Batch
+
+test_write_bounded.py - a simple pipeline taking a bounded PCollection
+as input using the [Create](https://beam.apache.org/releases/pydoc/current/apache_beam.transforms.core.html#apache_beam.transforms.core.Create)
+ transform (useful for testing) and writing it to files using multiple IOs.
+
+### Running the pipeline
+
+To run the pipeline locally:
+
+```sh
+python -m apache_beam.examples.sinks.test_write_bounded
+```
+
+## Streaming
+
+Two example pipelines that use 2 different approches for creating the input.
+
+test_write_unbounded.py uses [TestStream](https://beam.apache.org/releases/javadoc/current/org/apache/beam/sdk/testing/TestStream.html),
+a method where you can control when data arrives and how watermark advances.
+This is especially useful in unit tests.
+
+test_periodicimpulse.py uses [PeriodicImpulse](https://beam.apache.org/releases/pydoc/current/apache_beam.transforms.periodicsequence.html#apache_beam.transforms.periodicsequence.PeriodicImpulse),
+a method useful to test pipelines in realtime. You can run it to Dataflow as well.
+
+### Running the pipeline
+
+To run the pipelines locally:
+
+```sh
+python -m apache_beam.examples.sinks.test_write_unbounded
+```
+
+```sh
+python -m apache_beam.examples.sinks.test_periodicimpulse
+```
