This comes as a follow up from recent Experimentation Days, where it was tested a possible integration between Jira and CircleCI in order to trigger automatically new release deployments.

The integration that was tested was:
Jira > Google Cloud Functions > CircleCI

Requirements

1. A new version is being release in Jira's release board
2. This makes Jira to fire a webhook trigger to a Cloud Function API endpoint
3. Cloud Function is making an API call to CircleCI to trigger a new pipeline on base repo
4. The pipeline has all the necessary scripts to create new tags on the two app repos, update production.json on the base repo and create a new release/tag.

Tasks

• The first 3 steps have been done already, just need to check that it works reliably. The Cloud Function code is part of planet4-release repo. A simple "promote" pipeline is already in the base repo.
• Write the scripts (part of circleci) repo that deal with all the git operations.
• Adjust base pipelines to make sure tests run for this scenario too.
