Extended Redis cache implementation Magento Commerce and Cloud 2.3.5+

As of Magento Commerce Cloud and Magento Commerce v2.3.5 or higher, it is recommended that you use the extended Redis cache implementation.

The enhancements minimize the number of queries to Redis that are performed on each Magento request.

These optimizations include: 

• Decrease in the size of network data transfers between Redis and Magento.
• Reduction in Redis consumption of CPU cycles by improving the adapter’s ability to automatically determine what needs to be loaded.
• Reduce race conditions on Redis write operations.

            'backend_options' => [
                'server' => '127.0.0.1',
                'database' => '0',
                'port' => '6379'
