    Using Redis as a cache

    # Gemfile
gem 'redis-rails'

    # config/environments/development.rb
  config.cache_store = :redis_store, {
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 6379,
    db: 0,
    namespace: '056redis'
  }

    You will also need to configure the production environment file with the Redis cache. Instead of specifying the values within each configuration file, I recommend using the secrets.yml file instead. For example, 

    # config/environments/development.rb
  config.cache_store = :redis_store, {
    host: Rails.application.secrets.redis_server,
    port: Rails.application.secrets.redis_port,
    db: Rails.application.secrets.redis_cache_database,
    namespace: Rails.application.secrets.redis_cache_namespace
  }

    # secrets.yml
development:
  secret_key_base: ...
  redis_server: localhost
  redis_port: 6379
  redis_cache_database: 0
  redis_cache_namespace: '056redis'

    # index.html
