Suggested AI description

Description

Currently, our project is running on an older version of Node.js which is approaching its end-of-life date. To ensure continued long-term support, security updates, and performance improvements, we need to upgrade our Node.js runtime environment to the latest Long Term Support (LTS) version, which is Node 20 LTS.

Tasks

• [ ] Verify that all project dependencies are compatible with Node 20 LTS.
• [ ] Update the Node version and any Docker configurations.
• [ ] Update the CI/CD pipeline to use the new Node 20 LTS version.
• [ ] Perform a full regression test on the staging environment after the upgrade.
• [ ] Monitor performance and error logs closely following the deployment to production.

Acceptance Criteria:

• The application builds and runs successfully on Node 20 LTS without any errors.
• All tests pass and the application behaves as expected.
• No significant performance regressions are observed.
• The CI/CD pipeline operates without issues using the updated Node version.

[!NOTE] We should also update the project's documentation to reflect the change in the Node.js version requirement. This upgrade should be scheduled during a low-traffic period to minimize potential impacts on users.
