Tame the Features animal and stop thinking "will it work this time when I deploy to Production?".

In this session we will go over the key factors that will help you understand how Features module works and also suggest you a few resources to complement what it can't do.

Installing and manipulating fields, removing content types and removing taxonomies are common scenarios where Features may not work as you expect. In these cases, defining an Upgrade Path with Drush and hook_update_N() is critical in order to ensure that you and your peers are working over the exact same codebase and configuration so as to be able to test deployments.
