I came across this issue that when I tried to run a service provider in task scheduling, it would yield:
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError] Class 'Redis' not found
I was able to run other task scheduling that doesn't use Redis. Also, I can use this particular service provider in a controller.
Also, what's a good practice for loading data onto Redis on a daily basis?
Maybe you should add to the beginning of the file
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis;
Also, instead of Radis, it's better to use Cache facade, this will allow changing the radis to a memcade for example. https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/cache
To load data, I would use console commands. ( https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/artisan )
