Question

at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (node:dns:71:26) { errno: -3004, code: 'EAI_FAIL', syscall: 'getaddrinfo', hostname: 'redis:123.redislabs.com:18094' }

how to connect with redis lab in nodejs using ioredis

Answer 1

That looks like a malformed Redis URL and not a hostname to me. If your using a URL to connect to Redis is should be like this:

redis://123.rediabs.com:18094

Hope this helps.
