VoiceFoundry Code Project - Rob Pilic

This application does the following:

1. Deploys the CloudFormation template using the values specified in the config.json file
2. Uploads the voice_data.json file in the data directory to S3
3. Invokes the dataSaveVoice-dev Lambda function to save the uploaded S3 file data to DynamoDB
4. The DynamoDB stream from the above step invokes the synthesize-dev Lambda function, which:
   • Iterates through the stream records
   • Calls Polly->DescribeVoices for the current record's language
   • Uses the first voice returned to synthesize the text to audio
   • Drops the resulting audio file on S3 in the synthesized folder

Running the project

1. Edit the config.json with any appropriate changes to the configuration properties:

alarmEmail: email to send notification to when a CloudWatch alarm is triggered
awsProfile: the profile in .aws/credentials to use to launch AWS services
logRetentionDays: the number of days to keep data for in the Lambda functions' Cloudwatch Logs streams
s3Bucket: the name of the S3 bucket to create

2. Open a terminal window and type npm run deploy.
