What's the right way to publish Redis message from a Redis based NestJS Microservice - redis

Question

I built a sample Redis based Microservice with NestJS. It's fantastic and works great. In my microservice, after processing the message received over Redis (pub/sub), we publish our result to another Redis channel for a different microservice to pick.
What's the right way to publish? Are there any samples?
For my work, I used Redis package and published it (as opposed to ClientProxyFactory). Works fine and gets the job done.
import {
ClientProxy,
ClientProxyFactory,
Transport,
} from '#nestjs/microservices';
import { Injectable, Logger } from '#nestjs/common';
import * as redis from 'redis';
import { NVResponseDTO } from "../dto/nv.dto";
#Injectable()
export class NVPersistService {
logger = new Logger('NVPersistService');
private client: redis.RedisClient;
constructor() {
this.client = redis.createClient({port: 6379, host: 'localhost'});
this.logger.log('Successfully created client for publish');
}
async publish(result: NVResponseDTO) {
const channel = 'persistence';
try {
await this.client.publish(channel, JSON.stringify(result));
this.logger.log(`Message sent`);
} catch (e) {
this.logger.error(e);
}
}
}
But is this the way to do it or should I use something like below
this.client = ClientProxyFactory.create({
transport: Transport.REDIS,
options: {
url: 'redis://localhost:6379',
}
});
await this.client.connect();
const channel = 'persistence';
const status = await this.client.send<string, NVResponseDTO>(channel, result);
this.logger.log(`Status of send - ${status}`);
Note: Above code did not work for me, hence used Redis directly. Any guidance would be much appreciated
