A note on security

We have been running MongoDB and Redis with their default out-of-the-box settings. This is fine for development purposes. Deploying these services into production requires additional consideration around security. You can find more resources on this at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/administration/security-checklist/ and http://redis.io/topics/security.
