 2. Bring up a Postgres and a Redis for the proxy to use. The repo-root `docker-compose.yml` already defines a Postgres on `5432`; a `docker run -p 6379:6379 redis:7` covers Redis. Point `DATABASE_URL` / `REDIS_HOST` / `REDIS_PORT` at whatever you run. Tests that read Redis directly default to the deployed shape (TLS + cluster mode) whenever `REDIS_HOST` is set, so for a local standalone Redis also set `REDIS_CLUSTER=false` and `REDIS_SSL=false` (plus `REDIS_PASSWORD` when your Redis requires auth)
