Description

Hi,

Since you're using kombu for communication with the queue, would it be possible to use other kombu-supported queues, other than RabbitMQ?

E.g. we use Redis with kombu for our celery service. Could we use Redis for stackstorm, too? Any special features that require RabbitMQ?

Redis is available as a SaaS on our cloud, so I'd like to take advantage of that if possible.

Thanks,
John

Research direction

Start by reviewing StackStorm's queue configuration and its Kombu/RabbitMQ integration, then identify which required features depend specifically on RabbitMQ. Determine the scope needed for Redis support and define completion as a validated Redis configuration or a documented blocker and supported-queue decision.
