Announcing the end of support for Node.js 10.x in the Amazon SDK for JavaScript (v3)

{"value":"Starting January 1, 2022, AWS SDK For JavaScript (v3) will no longer support Node.js 10.x which was EOL on April 30, 2021.\n\nWe encourage you to upgrade to Node.js 12.x or later. We recommend Node.js 14.x which was released on April 21, 2020 and became active LTS on October 27, 2020.\n\n#### **Motivation**\n\nAs Node.js 10.x version has [reached end-of-life](https://twitter.com/nodejs/status/1388116425361874945). We are seeing support drop within the Node.js community. To make sure we are providing up-to-date and secure libraries, we’re joining this migration. We encourage you to do the same to ensure your applications and services remain secure.\n\n#### **Usage**\n\nIf you’re using AWS SDK for JavaScript (v3) in Node.js 10.x, the following message will be shown when you create object of any client:\n\n```\\nJavaScript\\n```\n// test.js\n```\\nconst { DynamoDB } = require(\\"@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb\\");\\n```\nconst client = new DynamoDB();\n```\\n```\n\n```\\nBash\\n```\n\$ node --version\\n```\\nv10.24.1\\n```\\n```\\n\$ node test.js\n```\\n...\\n```\n(node:21294) NodeDeprecationWarning: The AWS SDK for JavaScript (v3) will\n```\\nno longer support Node.js v10.24.1 as of January 1, 2022.\\n```\nTo continue receiving updates to AWS services, bug fixes, and security\n```\\nupdates please upgrade to Node.js 12.x or later.\\n```\n```\\nMore information can be found at: https://a.co/1l6FLnu\\n```\n...\n```\\n\\nOn January 1, 2022, the GitHub and npm release for AWS SDK for JavaScript (v3) will specify the exact SDK version where support for these runtime versions have been dropped. The installation for newer versions of AWS SDK for JavaScript (v3) will fail in Node.js <12.x if you have set```engine-strict=true```as follows:\\n\\n```\nBash\n```\\n\$ node --version\\n```\nv10.24.1\n```\\n\\n```\n\$ npm install @aws-sdk/client-s3\\n```\\n...\\n```\\nnpm ERR! code ENOTSUPnpm ERR! notsup Unsupported engine for aws-sdk@<version>: wanted: {\\"node\\":\\">=12.0.0\\"} (current: {\\"node\\":\\"10.24.1\\",\\"npm\\":\\"6.14.12\\"})\\n```\\n...\\n```\\n```\\n\\n```\\n```\\n\\nYou can continue to use AWS SDK for JavaScript (v3) versions released before January 1, 2022 in Node.js <12.x.\\n\\n#### **Maintenance Policies**\\n\\n#### **The Node.js Release Schedule**\\n\\nPlease see the [Node.js release schedule](https://github.com/nodejs/Release#release-schedule) for a complete list of Node.js versions and their maintenance status.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe new even-numbered versions (e.g. v12.x, v14.x, v16.x etc) are released in April, while odd-numbered versions (e.g. v15.x, v17.x) are released in October. When a new odd-numbered release are available, the previous even-numbered version transitions to LTS.\\n\\n#### **AWS SDKs and Tools**\\n\\nFor more information regarding maintenance and deprecation for AWS SDKs, please see the [AWS SDKs and ToolsMaintenance Policy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/maint-policy.html) . Our policy is to continue supporting SDK dependencies for at least 6 months after the community or vendor ends support for the dependency.\\n\\n#### **Feedback**\\n\\nWe value your feedback, so please tell us what you like and don’t like by opening an [issue on GitHub](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/issues/new/choose).\\n\\n\\n[**Trivikram Kamat**](https://twitter.com/trivikram)\\n\\nTrivikram is maintainer of AWS SDK for JavaScript in Node.js and browser.
