Choosing a Version

LTS versions are recommended for most deployments. Long-Term Support releases receive security patches and bug fixes for an extended period, making them the safest choice for production servers. The current LTS versions available in this egg are Node.js 18, 20, 22, and 24. Use the latest non-LTS release (currently Node.js 25) only if your application explicitly requires features not yet available in an LTS version. Non-LTS releases reach end-of-life faster and may introduce breaking changes.
Next.js itself has its own minimum Node.js requirement. Check your version of Next.js against the official Next.js documentation to confirm compatibility before selecting an older image such as Node.js 18.

​
LTS Release Schedule

Node.js releases follow a predictable cadence: even-numbered versions become LTS, odd-numbered versions do not. If you want long-term stability without frequent image changes, stick to the even-numbered LTS images.
