Node.js 12 is the latest LTS release of Node.js and will be supported for security and bug fixes until April 2022. Lambda will automatically apply updates made to the Node.js 12 as those become available from the Node.js community.
To deploy your Node.js code as a Lambda function, upload your code through the AWS CLI or AWS Lambda console and select the Node.js 12.x runtime. You can also use the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) to deploy and manage your serverless application authored in Node.js. If you have existing Node.js functions you can migrate them to the new runtime by making any necessary changes to their code for compatibility with Node.js 12, and changing the function’s runtime configuration to “nodejs12.x”.
The Node.js 12 runtime is available in all Regions where Lambda is available. Please visit our product page for more information about AWS Lambda or sign in to the AWS Lambda console to get started.
