User:Sharihareswara (WMF)/Performance guidelines
This page is currently a draft.

These performance guidelines aim to help MediaWiki developers avoid common performance problems that slow down MediaWiki and the site. Moved most to Performance guidelines and Performance profiling for Wikimedia code.
Job queue:
- The job queue does things with the database. We use Redis to do most of the heavy lifting - to store queue itself. But the runner part is still in-house.
