@Page- Node 21.5.0 is out now if you want to go ahead and bump to that? https://github.com/nodejs/node/releases

I'm fine with it but I'm curious how you changed your mind about non-LTS releases :thinking: Was it the ESM improvements? Was it the WebStreams & WebSockets?

thgreasi commented 8 months ago

I mean, the nodejs website even says:

Production applications should only use Active LTS or Maintenance LTS releases.

See: https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases

@thgreasi you were in the call where we discussed this and decided it makes sense for us. But basically with how heavily we use nodejs it will be beneficial to find any issues updating sooner and also be able to make use of new functionality, vs it being more of a side thing where we aren't constantly interacting with it and would rather batch updates
