I'm using the django-redis and django_rq frameworks to support both redis caching and redis background task processing for my Django application on Heroku. It's worked smoothly in the past, however now I keep getting a DatabaseError SSL error: decryption failed or bad record mac every time one of my jobs get run.

I read that this error occurs commonly with Postgres in the https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/postgres-logs-errors article, but it hasn't really been giving me anything useful for my python setup.

The problem is solved by closing the DB connection at the beginning of each job.

For example,

@job
some_job():
    from django.db import connection
    connection.close()
    some_more_code()
