Description
In response to the evolving landscape of Node.js development and to ensure our project remains robust and up-to-date, this pull request (PR) addresses a critical update. As of late, Node.js version 16 has reached the end of its official support lifecycle. To align our project with the latest industry standards and security patches, we are proactively upgrading our Node.js environment from version 16 to the latest stable release, version 18.
This upgrade carries significant advantages that will directly benefit our project's performance, stability, and security. Node.js 18 introduces a host of new features, optimizations, and improvements that have the potential to enhance both our development experience and the final user-facing product.
Motivation and Context
One primary motivation behind this upgrade is to ensure that our project remains secure and protected against emerging vulnerabilities. With version 16 no longer receiving security updates, continuing to use it poses a potential risk to our application's integrity. By migrating to Node.js 18, we can leverage the latest security patches and fixes, bolstering the resilience of our codebase.
Changes:
Several places where node 16 was used including testing and multistaged docker build file
