Redis version on heroku (already at 7 and not supporting 4) vs. NPM redis (Seems latest version is 4.x)

[afahim12]

Hi, wondering if I am looking at this right. It seems that heroku implements redis version 6 or 7 (and no longer supports 4 and below) but when i look at the latest node modules in npm for redis i see the latest is version 4. What gives? Thank you!

Hi! The version of the redis module does not follow the one of the redis server.

Here is the compatibility table: https://github.com/redis/node-redis#supported-redis-versions
