Redis configuration

[kaihendry]

Hi there, I asked a similar question over at apple/pkl#934 (comment)

Essentially I need to configure a rate limiter with config, and then this gets translated to a redis-cli commands, e.g.

redis-cli -n 6 hmset RL:limits:\$DOMAIN:$1 rate $2 burst $3

Is there some similar translation work I could leverage to be inspired here please?

I might do this in three steps:

1. Create a schema that does a good job of encoding the desired configuration.
2. Write your config to the schema.
3. Write a cue tool file (cue help cmd) that consumes the schema and executes redis-cli with the exec.Run tool.

If you're not familiar with cue tool files maybe experiment with it a bit, they're a bit awkward to write but I like them a lot as a user.
