    socket: {
      port: 1234,

    keyName
} = require('./constants');

try {
    const redis = require('@condor-labs/redis')(settings);
    (async () => {
        // get client
        let client = await redis.getClient();
        // prepare and execute batch in redis
      
        const data = await client.get(keyName);
        // validate response
        console.log(data);
        // close app
