Introduction:
- django 3.2.16
- django-redis 4.12.1
Problem: I use redis as a cache storage. I put the data to redis manually using the next code:
from django_redis import get_redis_connection
def redis_handler() -> None:
redis = get_redis_connection()
...
# some business logic
...
redis.close()
I call redis_handler() often and every time a new connection to redis created.
Idea/Solution: Can I create a "global" redis connection once for a project and then import and use it everywhere? Where I can do it? What problems can be? Because I will not close it while the project works.
I was inspired FastApi - it has hooks when the project starts and stops.
