      Use Case

      As a driver engineer,

      I want to stay up to date with our supported Node versions,

      So that we do not need to support long EOL'd node versions and so that we can use newer js syntax and features.

      User Experience

      • Users will see deprecation warnings when using our packages with unsupported node versions

      Dependencies

      • Requires mongosh/compass to have dropped support for Node16.

      Risks/Unknowns

      • Unsure.

      Acceptance Criteria

      Implementation Requirements

      • Adjust the minimum supported version to the lowest LTS (at time of Node v7)
      • (native bindings only)
        • Remove support for Node16 and 18 in ci
          • No need to test on ubuntu bionic for Node16 anymore
        • Upgrade node-gyp to the latest version (the current node-gyp version is pinned because it doesn't work with <python 3.8, and python3.8 is not available to download using apt-get on ubuntu) Will be done in NODE-7104
      • Upgrade TS compilation target to whichever target corresponds to Node20
      • Update dependabot config to remove exclusions that are no longer relevant

      Testing Requirements

      • n/a

      Documentation Requirements

      • Release note for migration guide

      Follow Up Requirements

      • additional tickets to file, required releases, etc
      • if node behavior differs/will differ from other drivers, confirm with dbx devs what standard to aim for and what plan, if any, exists to reconcile the diverging behavior moving forward
