Turn off redis dependency in development mode

[nstjean]

Right now in development mode we get a redis error on certain actions. The one I got today was Redis::CannotConnectError in AdminController#publish
It would be great if we could turn off the dependency in development!

Currently action cable is dependent on Redis. I believe you can use different adaptors but making the application less prod-like in development sounds risky.

You can run this locally after installing redis by running bundle exec sidekiq
On mac you can use brew to install redis through brew install redis, then run brew services start redis.

After Redis is running locally run sidekiq bundle exec sidekiq.

People have bought this up before #2779

Thank you for the clarification and the link to #2779! Is this reflected in the Readme? If not, perhaps we could do that, and then close this up? Another option is to research a "mock" redis, which could allow running locally while not needing to install Redis, but it depends on the balance of how easy it is to install for newcomers vs. how useful it is in development. Thanks!!!
