You need to have some kind of variable support - currently there’s no built-in way to do this in Serverless, but I suspect this will change very soon.

As a work-around, you can use the [this plugin](https://github.com/silvermine/serverless-plugin-write-env-vars) and create per-stage variables for the value you want to set.

Edit: Checkout @str3tch’s excellent response in [this thread](http://forum.serverless.com/t/stage-specific-parameters/632/2).
