Node.js Versions Used in Commercial Projects, 2016 Edition

The second annual report on Node.js version usage in commercial JavaScript projects using Semaphore reveals a trend towards newer versions, with a significant shift from Node 0.10, which is down to a third of projects from 55% the previous year, as its long-term support ends on October 31. Node version 4 is currently the LTS, while Node 6 is the "current" release, and AWS's Lambda platform added support for Node 4.3 in April 2016. The report highlights that most projects, particularly those started in 2016, are adopting the current LTS and latest versions, though there remains a diverse mix of versions in use. The article invites readers to share their approach to Node.js versioning and suggests trying Semaphore for CI/CD needs, alongside a call for discussion on their Discord channel.
