Migration checks

When moving away from this runtime or operating-system release, verify these configured concerns in your own workload. A listed concern is not proof that every workload is affected. [provider status source]

  • Upgrade target is nodejs24.x
  • Native addons must be rebuilt and tested on the Node.js 24 ABI

Investigate with the free lambda-lifeline CLI

The MIT-licensed kits have different commands and coverage. Start with local help and the kit README; use fixture or dry-run modes before any command that accepts credentials or an apply flag.

Install from this repository

Keep dependencies isolated and inspect the available commands before running a scan.

cd kits/lambda-lifeline
npm ci
node bin/cli.mjs --help

Review exact matches

Treat matches as migration evidence to verify. A static scanner cannot infer live resource counts, traffic, exploitability, or business impact.

Preview a specific migration command

Follow the selected kit's README. Review the diff and run the application's own tests before using an apply or deploy option.

Use your existing release controls

Deploy through your tested CI, canary, monitoring, and rollback process. The scanner does not certify a production rollout.

Frequently asked questions

What is the next tracked milestone?

2027-06-01. Node.js 22 Lambda runtime (Amazon Linux 2023) has a projected deprecation date of 2027-04-30. AWS currently projects blocking new nodejs22.x functions on 2027-06-01 and updates on 2027-07-01; AWS marks runtime dates as subject to change. [provider status source]

What should I verify before changing the workload?

Validate these configured checks against your code and current upstream documentation: Upgrade target is nodejs24.x; Native addons must be rebuilt and tested on the Node.js 24 ABI. A listed check is not proof that the workload is affected.

Which AWS services does this affect?

AWS Lambda — specifically function resources.

Is there a free way to migrate?

Yes — the lambda-lifeline CLI is MIT-licensed and free for local use. Audit v2 is an optional paid repository evidence artifact when its live safety gate is open. EOLkits does not currently sell managed migrations or automated pull requests.
