11 months ago @ozfox unfortunately, our downstream libraries require Node 14+ support. Examples:
- https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-storage
- https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-nodejs
- https://github.com/googleapis/gaxios
We would love to support Node 18 as minimum, however it will take some time before we make it a minimum.
Both of them already reached EOL, v14 in April and v16 just recently on September 11th.
I have come across this because fix(deps): update typescript-eslint monorepo to v6 (major) #767 was closed, probably because the pipeline for v14 failed. In addition to typescript-eslint, other dependencies have also dropped support or are likely to do so soon.
