drush command p:queue-work used php worker causes redis new connections to spike

Hi all,

This is a support request ticket and I'd really appreciate any help or tips.

Currently, we are using a PHP worker to purge the queue (p:queue-work). We have only 1 task running this command. However, it causes New connections to spike on Redis. See attached the chart indicating the new connections grow as soon as I enable the worker.

Is there any way we could avoid Redis being called here? Is there a specific cache bin that we could not cache/disable and then avoid redis connections?
