I've never done it IRL but I've always wanted to delete my company's redis instances and see what happens, chaos monkey style. If you're service breaks because it expected the cache to be there or your database immediately goes down because of too many requests, you're going to have a bad time _eventually_.

Redis does support persistence, so there are valid use cases where you expect the data to be around.

This is something one could/should simulate in test.
