Very cool!

I think I would do the Redis endpoint in the following way. In the docker-compose file set the actual value in stead of imitating a boolean.

environment:
- REDIS_DOCKER=redis

And then when you set the endpoint in processor.py you could do this:

redis_endpoint = os.getenv("REDIS_DOCKER", "localhost")

os.getenv() takes two arguments, the environment variable and a default. In this way you don't have to hardcode these values anywhere.

By the way, the default feature is parallel to when you use get() on a dictionary (a hash table in Ruby, I believe). For example take this dict:

my_dict = { 'first': 1, 'second': 2 }

You can get the values like my_dict['first'] and my_dict['second'] but my_dict['third'] will raise a KeyError because the key isn't in the dictionary. If you use my_dict.get('third', 42) you will get 42 if the key isn't in the dictionary.

Yes, that is a much better approach. I will fix now!
