This commit is a follow-up to Incident 152 (and 95).
Currently, the app fails with HTTP 5xx errors if the associated Redis cache is unreachable or cannot be used.
This commit sets the
CACHEOPS_DEGRADE_ON_FAILURE
environment variable to beTrue
. This env var instructs django-cacheops to wrap Redis calls in a try/except block and to handle connection errors and timeout errors gracefully, by writing a warning to the logs, rather than letting the relevant exception propagate up the stack.See:
