How to map a merged branch (with a ticket id) to an environment. Marry Vercel, Github, and Jira integrations.

[natezander]

As a director, I need to know which environments a specific ticket has been deployed to.

Vercel has the concept of environments, and we successfully create deployments w/ environment variables based on branch names.

Github has the concept of environments, but I have never been able to figure out how to map them to a branch pattern or to a vercel deploy. I thought I found the holy grail with the recently released environment mapping feature in GH, but this seems tied to their own concept of environment variables and GH actions.

And Jira wraps this all together by publishing branch and environments for each ticket.

Has anyone successfully linked these three products together?

My ultimate goal is to determine 'if a ticket has been merged in to the development branch, then it is live in the development environment. When those tickets have been merged into the staging branch, then those tickets are live in the staging environment. You can see that most deployments are simply listed as Preview or Undefined

It does appear that Jira/GH/Vercel properly matches pushes to the master branch and marks them as production environment.
