Hands-On Microservices with C#

By: Matt Cole

Overview of this book

C# is a powerful language when it comes to building applications and software architecture using rich libraries and tools such as .NET. This book will harness the strength of C# in developing microservices architectures and applications. This book shows developers how to develop an enterprise-grade, event-driven, asynchronous, message-based microservice framework using C#, .NET, and various open source tools. We will discuss how to send and receive messages, how to design many types of microservice that are truly usable in a corporate environment. We will also dissect each case and explain the code, best practices, pros and cons, and more. Through our journey, we will use many open source tools, and create file monitors, a machine learning microservice, a quantitative financial microservice that can handle bonds and credit default swaps, a deployment microservice to show you how to better manage your deployments, and memory, health status, and other microservices. By the end of this book, you will have a complete microservice ecosystem you can place into production or customize in no time.

Using Text-to-Speech

The following is an example of our SpeechRequestMessage that we are sending to the TTS engine. The rate is an integral value between -10 and 10, the volume is an integral value between 0 and 100, and the maleSpeaker parameter is either one for a male voice, or zero for a female voice.

We arranged for quite a lot of text to be spoken so that you have enough text to get a feel for the benefits of TTS. Please feel free to customize the text to whatever works best for your situation:

SpeechRequestMessage msg = new SpeechRequestMessage
{
rate = 0,
maleSpeaker = 0,
volume = 50,
ID = 1,
text =
"As to country N and President Z, we believe we're entering a missile renaissance, said Ian Williams, ",
};

msg.text += " an associate director at the center for strategic and International Studies, who has been compiling data on missile programs in different countries...
