Is there any good way to setup an API endpoint to directly push to SQS ?

I believe this is a REST API feature, and

sst.Api

uses HTTP API. so you would probably have to set up a REST API using CDK directly

Well, API Gateway offers a service integration that lets you skip Lambda and go direct to SQS (and lots of other service integrations). However, I do not believe SST does anything here

Ah I see so the V2 API gateway does not support this

Yup, which is a shame

HTTP API is intended to be more of a “lite” service 🙂 it’s cheaper, so the trade-off is on feature set

Yeah makes sense, one thing I could do is use v1 for only the endpoint I need to move to SQS so should not be a huge deal

Your guys' conclusions on v1 are right, and characterization of v2/http are right (faster, cheaper), but it actually DOES support this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/http-api-develop-integrations-aws-services.html

@Derek Kershner is right, HTTP API (v2) CAN integrate with a few AWS services, and SQS is one of them https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/http-api-develop-integrations-aws-services-reference.html

oh nice! didn’t know that
