Confusion regarding redis migration
I'm not talking big picture, nor do I want to. To me and everyone else who did this migration, this is just a redis service, and shouldn't be configurable any more than the legacy one was. The new way it's presented, and the way this migration reconfigured things, is confusing.

Confusion regarding redis migration
But you just said the username is always default and the port is always 6379. So why are those editable?
Wouldn't I break either the redis service or my app by editing the URL strings?
What flexibility is the ability to edit them adding exactly?

Confusion regarding redis migration
REDIS_PASSWORD is there to set the password, REDISPASSWORD is there for backwards compatibilityWhat was wrong with the old one? If a underscored version of that was added, why not also one for port etc? The underscored one is not even mentioned in the documentation. https://docs.railway.app/guides/redis
you should have no need to edit the variables on the redis service itselfWhy allow the user to do this? It just adds confusion. The old way was clear: "this service provides these variables".
dont quite know what redis has to do with shared variables tbhThe migration seems to have made copies of many of the variables from the new redis service to my app service; why would it use copies which I'm worried I can break accidentally later when there's a shared variables feature?
the user will always be default and the port will always be 6379Yet for some reason the UI allows the user to edit them. Don't you see a problem here?

Confusion regarding redis migration
I guess maybe I want to use
REDIS_PRIVATE_URL to connect? But that one wasn't copied/shared over to my application. I don't know if I'm expected to do that myself. It also worries me that it's defined as redis://default:${{REDIS_PASSWORD}}@${{RAILWAY_PRIVATE_DOMAIN}}:6379 which doesn't pull in the actual value of REDISUSER or REDISPORT, it's just hardcoded as "default" and "6379"23 replies
