At the moment the echo extension on Labs is only enabled on http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org, please enable that extension for all other beta.wmflabs.org-wikis to match production. Please also enable it for de.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org to let the user play with it ten days for the possible deployment on de.wikipedia.org. Thanks.
Anyone can hack that in operations/mediawiki-config.git and enable echo in wmf-config/InitialiseSettings-labs.php or wmf-config/CommonSettings-labs.php . Whenever the change is merged in, it will be deployed on the beta cluster automatically.
Note that Echo in prod uses an external load balancer for large wikis, someone would probably need to set that up on beta.

The databases are upgraded once per hour via a Jenkins job https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/beta-update-databases/? It can be triggered manually by people of the 'wmf' LDAP group by login in with labs account. So essentially, yeah that will magically happen :-] More details at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Deployment-prep/How_code_is_updated

Change 95450 abandoned by Umherirrender: enable Echo on all beta.wmflabs.org-wikis Reason: Echo is enabled on de.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org, looks like the enable on production dewiki enabled it also on beta dewiki. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/95450

Beta indeed inherits production settings :)
