Most solutions involve additional values that can vary by environment, such as between development, different levels of test, and production. Integrating systems requires knowledge of URLs for configuring webhooks. Content delivery networks such as Vercel and netlify assign subdomains for each environment, and of course customers use their own domains and subdomains.
