I would advise against the design that blindly uses a codec to offload large payloads to Redis. The problem is that loading such large payloads into the workflow is unnecessary in most situations and makes replay extremely slow.

I recommend implementing a solution that allows passing references to these payloads seamlessly from one activity to another.
