Node.js 22 key dates
What this means for you
Node.js 22 is still patched, but support ends on 30 Apr 2027. Plan your move now: upgrades and replacements take longer than expected, and auditors flag versions within months of their end date.
Upgrade options:
- Node.js 24 (LTS): supported until 30 Apr 2028
What happens when support ends
Will it still run?
Your applications keep running. Nothing in Node.js switches off at end of life.
Will it get security fixes?
The Node.js project publishes no more releases for that line, including security releases for vulnerabilities that affect it.
What stops working?
npm packages drop support for old Node.js versions. Cloud platforms such as AWS Lambda and Azure Functions deprecate and later block old runtimes.
What are my options?
- Move to Node.js 24 or 26 LTS.
- Use a version manager such as nvm or fnm to test a new version alongside the old one.
- Avoid odd-numbered versions in production; they end after about eight months.
