    <p>Hello Matthew,</p>
    <p>as a developer I have no direct experience with these issues but
      (as nobody answered here yet) let me tell a few words:</p>
    <ol>
      <li>There are deployments in cloud environments. I've heard of
        both AWS and Azure, although I am not 100% sure. One of these
        was quite impressive, with tens of nodes processing tens of
        millions of records (this one was not in production, though).
        Maybe you could directly contact Igor Farinič for more
        information.</li>
      <li>One option that is being used is <a moz-do-not-send="true"
          href="https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Eclipse+plugin+HOWTO">the
          Eclipse plugin</a>. Being part of Eclipse, all the
        configuration objects can be under version control. They can be
        then deployed to various environments (test, QA, production) on
        the press of a button, so to say. There is a support for
        tailoring of configuration objects for different environments,
        namely a simple macro expansion feature. I am sure some people
        on this list use the plugin routinely, so they might be able to
        share their experiences, if needed.</li>
    </ol>
    <p>Hope this helps. :)<br>
