Redis failing to connect with `ECONNREFUSED`
Hi team, today our apps started getting the error when trying to connect with our redis instance: 
{"code":"ECONNREFUSED","error":"connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379","errorLevel":"standard","label":"WorkerClientRedis","name":"Error","stack":"Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379\n    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1495:16)"}
{"code":"ECONNREFUSED","error":"connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379","errorLevel":"standard","label":"WorkerClientRedis","name":"Error","stack":"Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379\n    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1495:16)"}
We've read through a couple threads and tried the following: 1. We are using private redis, so we've ensured we have family=0 set on the connections 2. We tried switching to the public connection. We're able to connect and run on app with the public connection locally, but we still get errors in prod. We're using ioredis with the following settings: 
const BASE_REDIS_OPTIONS: RedisOptions = {
    reconnectOnError: () => true,
    connectTimeout: 5000,
    retryStrategy: (times) => Math.min(times * 50, 2000),
    maxRetriesPerRequest: 0,
    enableReadyCheck: true,
    autoResubscribe: true,
    keepAlive: 1000 * 30,
    family: 0,

This was working for us until today
