Speak Deploy Integration

Speak Deploy Integration

Overview

Deploy Speak-powered language learning applications to popular platforms with proper secrets management.

Prerequisites

• Speak API keys for production environment
• Platform CLI installed (vercel, fly, or gcloud)
• Application code ready for deployment
• Environment variables documented
• Audio storage configured

Vercel Deployment

Environment Setup

# Add Speak secrets to Vercel
vercel secrets add speak_api_key sk_live_***
vercel secrets add speak_app_id app_***
vercel secrets add speak_webhook_secret whsec_***

# Link to project
vercel link

# Deploy preview
vercel

# Deploy production
vercel --prod

vercel.json Configuration

{
  "env": {
    "SPEAK_API_KEY": "@speak_api_key",
    "SPEAK_APP_ID": "@speak_app_id"
  },
  "functions": {
    "api/**/*.ts": {
      "maxDuration": 60

    }
  ]
}

Next.js API Routes for Speak

// pages/api/speak/session.ts
import { SpeakClient } from '@speak/language-sdk';
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next';

const client = new SpeakClient({
  apiKey: process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY!,
  appId: process.env.SPEAK_APP_ID!,
});

export default async function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
  if (req.method !== 'POST') {
    return res.status(405).json({ error: 'Method not allowed' });
  }

  try {
    const { language, topic, difficulty } = req.body;

    const session = await client.tutor.startSession({
      language,
      topic,
      difficulty,
    });

    res.json({ sessionId: session.id });
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Speak session error:', error);
    res.status(500).json({ error: 'Failed to start session' });
  }
}

Fly.io Deployment

fly.toml

app = "my-speak-app"
primary_region = "iad"

[env]
  NODE_ENV = "production"
  SPEAK_TARGET_LANGUAGE = "es"

[http_service]
  internal_port = 3000

  interval = 10000
  grace_period = "10s"

  protocol = "http"
  timeout = 2000

# Larger instance for audio processing
[[vm]]
  cpu_kind = "performance"
  cpus = 2
  memory_mb = 2048

Secrets Configuration

# Set Speak secrets
fly secrets set SPEAK_API_KEY=sk_live_***
fly secrets set SPEAK_APP_ID=app_***
fly secrets set SPEAK_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_***

# Set audio storage (if using external)
fly secrets set AUDIO_STORAGE_URL=https://storage.example.com
fly secrets set AUDIO_ENCRYPTION_KEY=base64_key_here

# Deploy
fly deploy

Volume for Audio Caching

# Create volume for audio cache
fly volumes create speak_cache --size 10 --region iad

# Update fly.toml
[mounts]
  source = "speak_cache"
  destination = "/app/cache"

Google Cloud Run

Dockerfile

FROM node:20-slim

WORKDIR /app

# Install audio dependencies for speech processing
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    ffmpeg \
    libsox-fmt-all \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --only=production

COPY . .

Environment Configuration Pattern

// config/speak.ts
interface SpeakConfig {
  apiKey: string;
  appId: string;
  environment: 'development' | 'staging' | 'production';
  webhookSecret?: string;
  audioStorage?: {
    type: 'local' | 's3' | 'gcs';
    bucket?: string;
  };
}

export function getSpeakConfig(): SpeakConfig {
  const env = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';

  return {
    apiKey: process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY!,
    appId: process.env.SPEAK_APP_ID!,
    environment: env as SpeakConfig['environment'],
    webhookSecret: process.env.SPEAK_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
    audioStorage: {
      type: process.env.AUDIO_STORAGE_TYPE as any || 'local',
      bucket: process.env.AUDIO_BUCKET,
    },
  };
}

Health Check Endpoint

// api/health.ts
import { SpeakClient } from '@speak/language-sdk';

const client = new SpeakClient({
  apiKey: process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY!,
  appId: process.env.SPEAK_APP_ID!,
});

export async function GET() {
  const start = Date.now();

  try {
    const speakHealth = await client.health.check();

    return Response.json({
      status: speakHealth.healthy ? 'healthy' : 'degraded',
      services: {
        speak: {
          connected: speakHealth.healthy,
          latencyMs: Date.now() - start,
        },
      },
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    });
  } catch (error) {
    return Response.json({
      status: 'unhealthy',
      services: {
        speak: {
          connected: false,
          error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error',
        },
      },
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    }, { status: 503 });
  }
}

Output

• Application deployed to production
• Speak secrets securely configured
• Health check endpoint functional
• Audio processing infrastructure ready
• Environment-specific configuration in place
