I'm pretty sure that WMF is using Redis for the MediaWiki job queue. I

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

Well, I'm not outside WMF, but with Wikimetrics [1], we use Redis as a Result Backend for our Celery queue. It works great and besides me
getting
the configuration wrong once, everything is very solid. I'd be happy to answer any specific questions if you have them.

I think he meant if the php code mediawiki uses to interact with redis for job queue is stable, not redis itself.
