Fix error: RedisClient::ReadTimeoutError (GEMFILE-DIRECTORY-11)

[revise-dev]

The error "RedisClient::ReadTimeoutError: Waited 1.0 seconds" indicates that the Redis client timed out while waiting for a response from the Redis server. This is likely due to network latency, high server load, or a combination of factors. To address this issue, we need to increase the read timeout for the Redis client used by Sidekiq.

The fix involves adding configuration settings to the Sidekiq configuration file (config/sidekiq.yml) to increase the Redis client's read timeout. Here's a detailed explanation of the changes:

1. We're adding a new :redis: section to the Sidekiq configuration. This section is specifically for Redis-related settings.

2. Within the :redis: section, we're setting the :read_timeout: to 5.0 seconds. This increases the default timeout of 1.0 second to a more lenient 5.0 seconds.

3. The increased timeout gives the Redis server more time to respond before the client raises a timeout error. This can help in situations where the Redis server is under heavy load or when there are network latency issues.

4. We're using 5.0 seconds as a reasonable starting point. This value provides a balance between allowing enough time for slower operations and preventing excessively long waits that could impact the overall performance of the application.

5. It's important to note that while this change can help prevent timeout errors, it's also crucial to monitor the Redis server's performance and investigate any underlying issues that may be causing slow responses.

This change should resolve the immediate RedisClient::ReadTimeoutError without requiring modifications to the application code. However, if timeout issues persist, you may need to further investigate the Redis server's performance, network conditions, or consider optimizing Redis queries.
