Integrate Redis server for data caching #99

Open ndegwamartin opened 2 weeks ago

ndegwamartin commented 2 weeks ago

We need to add Redis server to the architecture of OpenSRP 2.

This will help in optimizing the performance of the backend with is greatly limited and impacted by the performance of the HAPI FHIR Server.

A local cache will not result in global benefits of caching however a cache server will support this and support scaling as well especially in a load balanced environment.

We chose Redis specifically since we already have experience with it from OpenSRP v1 and infrastructure scripts to support a rapid deployment.
