Description
Production onboarding reminder save fails because API cannot resolve Redis Cloud hostname
Summary
Users cannot complete the onboarding reminder step in production when selecting either:
- “Don’t remind me”
- A specific reminder time
The profile update request fails with 422 Unprocessable Entity because the API attempts to connect to Redis/Sidekiq during the profile save, and the configured Redis Cloud hostname cannot be resolved.
Error Response
{
"errors": "getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (redis://redis-11373.c244.us-east-1-2.ec2.cloud.redislabs.com:11373)"

Research direction
Start by tracing the profile update endpoint that saves onboarding reminder preferences and the Redis/Sidekiq connection configuration. Reproduce the production failure or inspect the reported hostname resolution error; done means both reminder choices save without a 422 response and the API no longer fails on the Redis connection.
