How can we migrate FusionAuth configuration from dev/qa to prod
-
If we have a qa/staging instance, is it possible to export any changes made in those instances to the production instance, or would this be a manual process?

For exporting changes, it depends on how you make the changes. There's a community supported terraform module, but it doesn't cover all the apis (PRs welcome!).
You could also script all your changes using the API and apply those scripts to different environments. We mostly see folks writing migration scripts that call the APIs. These are very similar to database migration scripts except they make REST calls instead of SQL. The scripts are run during upgrades of their app. (If you are using an app like rails, you could even leverage the existing migration framework and a client library.)
Kickstart works well for dev envts and CI, but doesn't handle changes (it assumes there is no data in fusionauth and won't run if it sees any).
