PLEASE don't wait a year to implement this in a new base image!

Would love this. Any update?

It's been nearly 4 months since the v 16 release. Will AWS Lambda support v 16 in the near future? @carlzogh @krk

v14 dose not plan to support Apple M1.
So working in v14 is little annoying.
We need v16 ASAP.

Seems AWS only does LTS builds so according to the schedule https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/ it'll be around November.

Hopefully we'll also get proper module support also.

Is there a way to create a custom runtime to use the latest version of node? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction?

@paulcanning you have to use a docker image function, and the cold start on those is pretty bad.

When will we get node 16 in Lambda then?
