hook_update_N is a very handy way to manage automated deployments. I use it for deployment on all my sites now. If you are still using this method, this module can be a real boost. https://www.drupal.org/project/hook_update_deploy_tools It is a framework to make the cycle more complete by adding
a) verification of what you asked it to do
b) reporting and logging of what was actually done
c) Update Exception thrown if the result was not what was expected so that the hook_update_N was not counted as run.
