Highlights
Last night we got Redis upgraded on @firesidefm from 3.x to 7.x.
Hated to upgrade it because the process had not been restarted in like 3+ years!
I learned it was outdated by updating sidekiq from 5.x to 6.x and watching it break in prod. Whoops.
I was running 7 on my Mac and 3 in CI, but CI didn't invoke the check that Sidekiq's CLI does.
The only hairy part was our config file had some stuff that was outdated and causing repeated crashes.
Once we got a new config file in with our tweaks on top she purred like a kitten.
