Fell into a rabbit hole with trying to access Redis through client-side javascript and spent 20+ hours getting nowhere 😞

Didn't want to have additional overhead of running a cloud function to access Redis, so tried exploring a Rust -> WebAssembly -> Javascript approach as maybe a way to get Redis working on client side javascript. But unfortunately, getting WebAssembly to even work with the current project was hard enough and getting Rust to compile to WebAssembly in a format that's working was even harder. Due to the amount of time spent of this already, I'm going to move forward and just have AWS Lambda function get the data from Redis.
