Just replace the !Ref with a simple string like "staging" or "development" or add it as a parameter at the top of the template somehow like this:

Parameters: 
  apiGatewayStageName: 
    Type: String
    Default: "dev"
    AllowedValues: 
      - dev
      - staging
      - prod
    Description: Enter dev, staging, prod.

I probably forgot to add it to this gist but I can't find the original.

Hi again,

I read some other examples on this topic.

What do you say towards this combination, is it needed or is it completely unnecessary?

`ApiGatewayRootMethod:
Type: 'AWS::ApiGateway::Method'
Properties:
HttpMethod: ANY
ResourceId: !GetAtt ApiGateway.RootResourceId
RestApiId: !Ref ApiGateway
AuthorizationType: NONE
Integration:
IntegrationHttpMethod: ANY
Type: HTTP_PROXY
Uri: !Sub
- "arn:aws:apigateway:${AWS::Region}:lambda:path/2015-03-31/functions/${LambdaArn}/invocations"
- LambdaArn: !GetAtt "LambdaFunction.Arn"
PassthroughBehavior: WHEN_NO_MATCH
IntegrationResponses:
- StatusCode: "200"

ApiGatewayProxyMethod:
Type: "AWS::ApiGateway::Method"
Properties:
AuthorizationType: "NONE"
HttpMethod: "ANY"
Integration:
IntegrationHttpMethod: "POST"
Type: "AWS_PROXY"
Uri: !Sub
- "arn:aws:apigateway:${AWS::Region}:lambda:path/2015-03-31/functions/${LambdaArn}/invocations"
- LambdaArn: !GetAtt "LambdaFunction.Arn"
PassthroughBehavior: WHEN_NO_MATCH
IntegrationResponses:
- StatusCode: "200"
ResourceId: !Ref ApiGatewayProxyResource
RestApiId: !Ref ApiGateway`

Sorry but I cant get the code markdown to work..

Getting a formatting error when pasting your template:
