ElevenLabs Deploy Integration

Overview

Deploy ElevenLabs TTS/voice applications to Vercel (serverless), Fly.io (containers), or Google Cloud Run with proper secrets management, timeout configuration, and streaming support. Pick the platform that matches your traffic shape, write the platform config + server code, store the API key as a platform secret, then deploy and smoke-test the live endpoint.

Prerequisites

• ElevenLabs API key for production
• Platform CLI installed (vercel, fly, or gcloud)
• Application code tested locally

Instructions

Follow these steps. The lean skeleton is below; the full config files and server code for each platform are in references/implementation.md.

1. Inspect the repo and pick a platform. Read the existing app code and any current deploy config, then choose from the comparison table below — Vercel for a simple stateless TTS API, Fly.io for streaming/WebSocket, Cloud Run for bursty variable load.

2. Write the platform config + server code. Use Write/Edit to create the platform files in the repo — vercel.json + the API route for Vercel, fly.toml + Express server for Fly.io, Dockerfile for Cloud Run. Full versions are in references/implementation.md.

3. Set the API key as a platform secret (never commit it):

   vercel env add ELEVENLABS_API_KEY production   # Vercel
   fly secrets set ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=sk_...       # Fly.io
   echo -n "sk_..." | gcloud secrets create elevenlabs-api-key --data-file=-  # Cloud Run
   

4. Mind the timeout. Vercel Hobby caps functions at 10s (30s on Pro) — use the eleven_flash_v2_5 model to stay under it. Fly.io and Cloud Run have no such short cap.
