Let us explore a straightforward example using default values that should cater to most needs:

import redis

r = redis.from_url(
  'rediss://default:<password>@<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com:<PORT_TLS>',
  health_check_interval=10,
  socket_connect_timeout=5,
  retry_on_timeout=True,
  socket_keepalive=True
)

To enhance security, consider using environment variables for your credentials. Here is how you can do it:

import os
import redis

r = redis.from_url(
  os.environ.get("STACKHERO_REDIS_URL_TLS"),
  health_check_interval=10,
  socket_connect_timeout=5,
  retry_on_timeout=True,
  socket_keepalive=True
)

Ensure your environment variables include a definition like: STACKHERO_REDIS_URL_TLS=rediss://default:<password>@<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com:<PORT_TLS>
