  • safety database upgrade process (cluster is liquibase friend)
  • contexts execution filter (you Player know what I’m talking about)
  • automation tooling provided (ant / servlet, and now PlayFramework !)

This simple technique allows you to never have to branch your code again! You can safely deploy your HEAD multiple times a day to all of your environments for development, testing, production, whatever. Just use a different set of enabled features.
Feature flags are what Flickr uses to be able to do 10+ deployments to production per day. See http://code.flickr.com/blog/2009/12/02/flipping-out/ for more info.
