How are clients performing configuration migrations across environments?

Hello everyone,

I am interested in feedback regarding the below.

How are clients performing configuration migrations across environments? Are folks configuring using the sand box in a lower instance, extracting that configuration and using a tool to upload the configurations to a target environment like production? Is anyone automating this using DevOps practices around continuous integration and continuous deployment? The intent is to take out human error and trigger automated test scripts once migrations are completed without manually executing "automated" test scripts.

Also interested in thoughts and feedback around related matters aligned to the above description.
