Node 20 / 22 schedule

[SirJamesBrown]

Please provide a public estimated nodejs/any runtime release schedule and update the community with changes as they occur.

Nodejs20 is available on lambda and elsewhere.

Two years ago I requested that we have some basic insight into these plans for nodejs18 but this didn't occur and was quite frustrating. It appears (though I hope i'm mistaken) that the delay was due to some partial rewrite of node for some internal efficiency gains. While this may or may not be the case, this was not communicated and no meaningful visibility was provided. This one thing would give a minimal level of assurance to stakeholders.

Much appreciated in advance.

Additional context
relates to 'Prepare and plan Node 18 deployment schedule #120' which never happened, it was released just before going into maintenance

For reference, Node.js 22 was released today:

Any Update concerning this ?

[SirJamesBrown]

We're wrapping up moving to fargate and other services. No one's been impressed with this communication over the years so feels risky going forward for us. Hopefully there'll be meaningful update for those hoping the service continues. Hopefully it starts to get maintained

Node20 is the active version -- why is apprunner left at node18? https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases

Node 22 is now the active LTS version.
Node 20 is already is already in maintenance mode.
Node 18 is still in maintenance mode, but will end-of-life in 6 months.

So I hope I can upgrade soon my AWS lambda functions also to Node 22.
