Redis at GitHub
From the InfoQ’s Werner Schuster interview with Scott Chacon:
Q: You mentioned using Redis. How do you use that?
A: We use Redis for exception handling and for our queue. We tried a lot of Ruby-based queuing mechanisms. Chris wrote an abstraction to the queuing mechanism. We used to use BJ and DJ and in the super early days we tried out Amazon SQS and a lot of queuing mechanisms and they all fell over at one point or another with the amount of traffic that we were doing on them and the types of queries that we were trying to get from them. Eventually we moved to a Redis space that Chris also wrote, called Resque.That’s open source, you can get that on GitHub, a couple of other companies you use it but it’s Redis pack. We use the Redis list and stuff to queue up jobs and to pull the jobs out of that and it’s been really solid. If you are using DJ or something and it’s not working quite well for you, then you might want to check out Rescue.
GitHub is also using Redis for configuration management. And Redis queues is already a well known usecase.
