Deprecation of Older Node.js Versions and Support for Node.js v16

Deprecation of Older Node.js Versions and Support for Node.js v16

Hello, Catalyst Community!


 

Node.js v10

 

We had earlier announced the deprecation of Node.js v10 for Catalyst functions and it has been ongoing since April 2021. The retirement date was announced as July 31, 2022 for the version. However, we have planned to extend the deprecation period of the version until October 31, 2022. Following the deprecation period, Node.js v10 will be retired on January 31, 2023, and Catalyst will end its support for the runtime thereafter.

 


Node.js v12

 

We are also announcing the deprecation of Node.js v12, effective immediately. Following the deprecation period of one year until April 30, 2023, Node.js v12 will be retired on July 31, 2023, three months after the end of the deprecation period. Catalyst will then end its support for the runtime.

 

Please refer to our Language Runtime Support Policy to learn about this phased reduction process in detail.

 


Node.js v10 and v12 have reached their end of life, and are currently not eligible for active maintenance or security support. It is therefore highly recommended that you immediately upgrade your existing functions of the older deployments to the latest supported runtime.

 


Node.js v16

 

Catalyst now provides support for Node.js v16. You can upgrade your existing functions to the latest supported version from the remote console. You can now also select this latest runtime when you create Node.js functions, or initialize them from the CLI.

 

​

You can keep track of all the updates we rollout from our Release Notes.


Please reach out to us in case you have any questions or require any assistance.

 

Cheers!
