Support generic REDIS_URL

[Ajay Sharma]

Redis services other than openredis have other ENV vars (I'm using Heroku's Redis Cloud add-on which provides REDISCLOUD_URL), it would be nice to have a generic REDIS_URL fallback for the other options.

I'm always kind of in favor of the free version unless you know what you're doing.

[Ajay Sharma]

Me too :) , but openredis's micro isn't free anymore on Heroku

Redis To Go and Redis Cloud do offer free tiers, which is why I'm using Redis Cloud.

So why doesn't heroku set this?

[Nicolás Sanguinetti]

I like what Sidekiq does for this.

If you've set REDIS_PROVIDER, it will use ENV[ENV["REDIS_PROVIDER"]] to
get the URL. So you'd do REDIS_PROVIDER=OPENREDIS_URL, or
REDIS_PROVIDER=REDIS_URL, or whatever.

@atmos I'm not sure what you mean by your last comment.

@foca I like that idea too (better than mine)

[Corey Donohoe]

PRs welcome. I'll definitely apply it though.
