Description

What do you see as an issue?

I have production outages because it is not clear what I have to clean on the Redis server.

As a result I look bad and my company doubts that the airflow is stable solution.

Solving the problem

There should be a section maintenance where all the required tasks should be documented.

Anything else

Research direction
Review existing Airflow Redis configuration documentation and any related maintenance scripts. Examine comments in the issue for specific pain points. Consider creating a new 'Maintenance' section in the official docs that outlines common cleanup tasks like cache flushing, key expiration policies, and monitoring. Look at similar projects' Redis maintenance guides for inspiration.
