Description

Hi everyone

I'm including Rails Performance in the project I'm working on. The initial configurations are ok. But I'd like to configure it in a way that if something fails in Rails Performance (a failure with Redis, for example) my application won't crash.

In some tests I did, with a small EC2 for Redis, I ran out of memory and my application ended up crashing.

Is there a way to configure this? Or would I have to make a change to the code?

Thanks

Research direction
Explore the Rails Performance gem code to see if there is any existing error handling for Redis failures. Look for where Redis is used, and consider adding a configuration option to rescue errors gracefully, similar to how other Rails gems handle external service failures.
