Use Redis with AWS SAM (Redis Client Error) - node.js

Question

Right now what I'm trying to do is that every time a request is made, a query is made to the Redis service. The problem is that when using a basic configuration, it would not be working. The error is the following:
INFO Redis Client Error Error: connec at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node} port: 6379127.0.0.1',
I have as always running redis-server with its corresponding credentials listening to port 127.0.0.1:6379. I know that AWS SAM runs with a container, and the issue is probably due to a network configuration, but the only command that AWS SAM CLI provides me is --host. How could i fix this?
my code is the following, although it is not very relevant:
import { APIGatewayProxyEvent, APIGatewayProxyResult } from 'aws-lambda';
import { createClient } from 'redis';
import processData from './src/lambda-data-dictionary-read/core/service/controllers/processData';
export async function lambdaHandler(event: APIGatewayProxyEvent): Promise<APIGatewayProxyResult> {
const body: any = await processData(event.queryStringParameters);
const url = process.env.REDIS_URL || 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379';
const client = createClient({
url,
});
client.on('error', (err) => console.log('Redis Client Error', err));
await client.connect();
await client.set('key', 'value');
const value = await client.get('key');
console.log('----', value, '----');
const response: APIGatewayProxyResult = {
statusCode: 200,
body,
};
if (body.error) {
return {
statusCode: 404,
body,
};
}
return response;
}
