Amazon generally doesn't have release teams (except for the retail website).

I can't find it right now, but I know someone gave a talk on Apollo, which is how Amazon does deployments.

I think I know the thing you mean, but I can't find it either.

I did find 'flippers' from Flickr[1] which sounds like a very similar "keep it all in master and turn stuff on and off" methodology.
