Question

Testing Serverless function with Node18 fails

I created a sample serverless function using nodejs v18 runtime. When running the function, the output returns

Action version is not compatible and cannot be invoked.

If I use the nodejs v14 runtime, works correctly. I have 2 questions with this:

  • What could be happening with the v18 runtime.
  • Is node v16 supported?

Thanks.

Node v18 is supported now. We have not made node 16 available since it’s about to enter maintenance mode in October.

Hi there,

Indeed you are correct, functions currently have five different runtimes, representing four different programming languages:

  • Go 1.17
  • Node.js 14
  • Node.js 14 with AWS Lambda compatibility
  • PHP 8
  • Python 3.9

You can also view the list of supported runtimes with doctl serverless status --languages.

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Bobby
