I would like to send a message to a SQS queue in response to an API Gateway POST. I see lots of examples around subscribing to sqs queues but don’t see sendmessage or put type commands in any of the examples. What would the syntax look like to send a message to a queue like this? Thanks
```const queue = new aws.sqs.Queue("dataqueue");```

Hey Kevin — I haven’t used SQS myself before, but I suspect this is a place where you’d use the AWS SDK (which Pulumi provides for you, in the `aws` package)  to send that message — so something like:
```const queue = new aws.sqs.Queue("dataqueue");
...

// And then in your POST handler
const sqs = new aws.sdk.SQS();
sqs.sendMessage({
    ...the properties of the request
});```

The docs for the SQS class of the AWS SDK are here: <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/SQS.html>

You should be able to access the properties of the `queue` resource using `.get()` methods (e.g., `queue.arn.get()`, etc.), which will allow you to  to pass regular strings for the argument to `sendMessage`.
