Redis/MediaWiki

Redis can be used as an alternative to memcached, and function as the job queue (no more running runJobs.php)

Make sure to get the latest versions of Redis from outside your distribution, which can be old: https://www.linode.com/docs/databases/redis/deploy-redis-on-ubuntu-or-debian

Redis with HHVM as Session Handler

Redis support is built into HHVM. You can just set redis as a save handler in HHVM, rather than using files.

/etc/hhvm/php.ini

session.save_handler = redis
session.save_path = "tcp://localhost:6379"
