To properly configure Redis with Drupal you should ensure the following configuration is added to your settings.php
file.
Note: Some customizations might be necessary depending on your individual requirements.
if (extension_loaded('redis')) {
// Set Redis as the default backend for any cache bin not otherwise specified.
$settings['cache']['default'] = 'cache.backend.redis';
$settings['redis.connection']['interface'] = 'PhpRedis';

$settings['redis.connection']['host'] = 'localhost';
$settings['redis.connection']['port'] = '6379';
$settings['redis.connection']['password'] = getenv('REDIS_PASSWORD') ?: '';
$settings['redis.connection']['persistent'] = FALSE;
// Allow the services to work before the Redis module itself is enabled.
$settings['container_yamls'][] = 'modules/contrib/redis/example.services.yml';
$settings['container_yamls'][] = 'modules/contrib/redis/redis.services.yml';
// Manually add the classloader path, this is required for the container cache bin definition below
// and allows to use it without the redis module being enabled.
$class_loader->addPsr4('Drupal\\redis\\', 'modules/contrib/redis/src');
$settings['bootstrap_container_definition'] = [
