Example of connecting a Cloud Run service to Redis via a VPC connector

Redis is used to keep track of the last load of the site and stores the last viewer's browser name and version. When a new person loads the page they see their own browser name and version, plus the info from the last person to load the site.

Setup

You'll need:

1. GCP Memorystore running redis
2. A Serverless VPC Connector to connect your Cloud Run service to Redis
3. REDISTHOST environment variable setup for your Cloud Run service to reference your Memorystore Redis

Environment Variable	Example value
REDISHOST	10.10.10.10
