Synchronizing my Drupal dev and prod environments is turning out to be a bigger brain scratcher than I would have so far imagined.
There does not seem to exist one consistent way for developers to sync their work without the hassle of manually keeping track of what has been uploaded and what has not been uploaded with a lot of developers having found their own way around it.
For instance, if I have a module that I decided to disable and uninstall on my local environment then I ought to have a way to mitigate this to my production website without me off course having to recreate the same step on my production environment. Pushing changes like I would usually with another framework does not make a lot of sense to me since Drupals internal mechanism works differently.
Thanks!

Found "Features" module from a guy's blog: http://codekarate.com/blog/top-ten-best-drupal-7-contrib-modules
Check the second paragraph in "Best Drupal 7 Module #8" section.
I have not yet tried it, but found these links while searching for it.

Give Backup and Migrate a shot. Not the perfect solution but it's the best I've found. http://drupal.org/project/backup_migrate
