How to rotate the secrets of your Redis integration

When you change the Redis database password, the current credentials will be immediately invalidated and the instance will restart. All projects that rely on the password will be unable to connect to the database until they are re-deployed.

Secret rotation is a security best practice that limits the exposure window if a credential is compromised. You might rotate secrets when:

A team member with access to credentials leaves
You suspect a credential has been exposed
Your security policy requires periodic rotation

These steps will guide you on updating the password for your Redis database.
