July 18, 2025 - But it's not a breaking change to go from 20.3.1 to 22.5.1. ... For good measure we'll also create a .nvmrc file. ... Drew, our dev ops lead, has thankfully maintained our docker setup over time. So there wasn't much in the way of Docker updates to make. My initial docker compose up led to an infinitely restarting mongo container with an AuthenticationFailed error. There wasn't clear guidance anywhere, but I was able to fix this by adding authSource=admin to the mongodb URL (StackOverflow).

r/node on Reddit: Upgrade web app from Node version 14.x to 20.x
September 12, 2024 -

Our application is built upon Vue, Nunjucks, Express and around 80 other dependencies. Around 30 packages have been deprecated. It’s a live application with around 15 million daily viewers. Currently the application is built upon Node 14.x version and they haven’t upgrade the Node for a few years.

Now they have delegated the task to me to upgrade the application to Node 20.x.

Tbh, I’m a bit overwhelmed since the tech debt is massive and currently I’m the only one working on it, so I need your help to figure our the correct direction from which to approach this task.

So, far I could figure two possible approaches:

  1. To install node 20.x in the local using nvm and the npm install, then run npm build and troubleshoot all the build errors one by one.

  2. To start from an empty folder with node 20.x and start migrating few files at a time by removing most features and then adding stuff bit by bit to make the application work at the simplest level and then build upon it.

Please suggest the correct approach for handling this task.

Thanks!

I would start by doing incremental update from 14 to 16 then fix any breaking changes including the projects dependencies. Then goes from 16 to 18 and repeat the cycle. Eventually you will end up with version 20. It will take quite some time but I think if something broke it's easier to track and isolate and then fix what's broken

I've just finished doing Node 12-16. I feel your pain. With the number of dependencies you've got I would recommend going via Node 16 and 18 and test everything at each stage. If it's not too painful for your devops processes, release incremental versions so you can get real feedback, and you can demonstrate your progress to management. NVM will be your friend, as will the engines field in package.json. That'll make sure you're always running the right version. My first step was a REALLY boring but necessary one. Go through the changelog for EVERY dependency and make a note of which Node versions each major version supports. This means that you won't upgrade anything you don't need to, but also you won't waste time upgrading something too far. Always upgrade to the lowest version you can get away with otherwise you'll be creating needless work for yourself. My other bit of advice would be to not refactor ANYTHING unless you absolutely have to. I found myself getting stuck in the weeds too many times because I was getting sidetracked fixing issues I found along the way. You'll have to do some as there will be breaking changes but resist temptation or you'll end up way behind schedule. With any luck going from 14-16 will be the most painful as pretty much everybody has dropped support for 14. There's still some support out there for 16 and 18 is still current, so 18-20 should be easy. Be under no illusions about how much work this will be, but if you're careful it shouldn't be difficult work. Read the documentation carefully, and good luck!
