Node.js 24 Released: Key Features and Developer Benefits

Node.js 24 is now available with powerful updates that boost app speed, security, and developer productivity. It includes the new V8 13.6 engine, which adds better performance and features like Float16Array, safer regular expressions, and smarter error handling.

This release also comes with npm 11, making package installs faster and more secure. Developers using Windows will now need to switch to the ClangCL compiler, which brings faster builds and fewer errors.

Other highlights include global access to the URLPattern API, better async context tracking, improved testing with automatic subtest handling, and the modern Undici 7 HTTP client with HTTP/2 support.

Node.js 24 also removes outdated APIs to improve security and performance. Upgrading helps future-proof your apps and ensures they run faster and more reliably.
