I’m pretty sure that WMF is using Redis for the MediaWiki job queue. I see some sparse documentation on setting it up. I already have redis on my machines and would like to move to this to make life easier on my database server, but I’m wondering if this is fully baked and ready for use.
Yes your assumptions are correct. I'd say it's fully production ready now--we use it to run all the job queues at WMF and we're doing thousands of jobs inserted & processed an hour. If documentation is a bit lacking, maybe Aaron can be prodded into expanding it :p
Are there folks outside of WMF using Redis for their job queue?
Dunno. Maybe Translatewiki? Wikia?
