Plan to move function runtime node to v22?
Trying out Convex, and so far it's been awesome! Do have some issue with function runtime and have to install v18 to make it work. But node v18 has reached its security support end in Apr 30, 2025. As a result, many popular packages have dropped support for it.
qq: Do we have any plan to move the runtime to v22 LTS or to even support multi-version function runtimes?

Thank you!
I've seen this talked about a few times, i think its on the short list to get updated in the next couple months.
Yes! Planning to move to Node.js v22 or let you choose between 18, 20, 22, 24. DOnt' know the details of how this will work yet though.
Same feeling as @Dizy here. Everything has been super smooth for the first interactions with Convex and excellent feeling (congrats) and then when trying to add authentication, I entered some node version issues and it started to be a bit more cumbersome.
Hopefully we get this before Vercel drops support 👀
i think you can upgrade these without causing any issues to convex.
Convex will have other Node.js runtimes by then, but yeah these are separate, you can deploy your frontend with any Node.js vesion you like and set the Convex Node.js actions node version separately.
