The official GitHub page for Discourse says

> “[We use Redis as a cache and for transient data.](https://github.com/discourse/discourse)”.

But Sidekiq, which is a part of Discourse, says

> “[Many people use Redis as a cache but it’s important that Sidekiq be run against a Redis instance that is not configured as a cache but as a persistent store.](https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/Using-Redis)”

and it also suggests

> “using two separate Redis instances, each configured appropriately, if you wish to use Redis for caching and Sidekiq”

So what should I do? I currently have only one Redis configed as a LRU cache. Should I make another one for Sidekiq, and how? Or I can safely ignore Sidekiq’s suggestion?

Thanks.
