To integrate Redis caching, you can add the redis gem to your project:

bundle add redis

Then, update your config/environments/production.rb file:

config.cache_store = :redis_cache_store, { url: ENV["REDIS_URL"] }

Set the REDIS_URL environment variable. Replace <yourPassword> and <XXXXXX> with your actual credentials:

REDIS_URL="rediss://default:<yourPassword>@<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com:6380"
