Question

Hi, Thanks for the support and sorry if this is a duplicate, but I've researched a lot and couldn't find any docs or issues related.

I have a nextjs app that needs to run on node18, you can see the issue below.

I've already tried the following:

• set engines to 18.x in package.json
• update environment variable of NODE_VERSION to 18.x
• update the build settings to use a custom docker image: node:18.2.0
• created a lambda function with node18.x in the backend, but i failed to use that function as a runtimer
  • Update Runtime in amplify/backend/function/YOURLAMBDA/yourlambda-cloudformation-template.json
• Set node version in .nvmrc file in the project root

Here is the repo example: https://github.com/Sirge-io/test-amplify

PS: Just to be clear, i'm not talking about the functions that we can add into amplify/function but the lambda that hosts the frontend

Any Help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @saulonunesdev, thanks for raising this question. Updating the runtime for Lambda functions hosting SSR apps is not supported at this time. We will keep this open as a feature request instead. We apologize for this inconvenience.

@hloriii any update on this? I have a NextJS app that can be compiled only with Node14 but it seems there is no way to specify a lambda runtime different from 16

Up to this, we need this.

We have a need for this also and would like to be able to ensure our runtime is using the latest LTS node supported by AWS lambda (currently node 18 at the time of writing)

Next 14.0.0 has just been released and the minimum version of node to use it is now 18.17.0.

We definitively need to run our public faced application on maintained environment and lot of lib are dropping node 16 so basically with amplify we are stuck to not update our application

[saulonunesdev]

here is the solution

Amplify Hosting now has Next.js 14 support as well. To use this new feature, set amplify:al2023 as the value for the custom build image if this is the app’s first deployment
