Node.js 26 was released on 2026-05-05 as the upcoming LTS version. The SAM transform / specification needs to recognize nodejs26.x as a valid Lambda runtime value so that SAM templates using the new runtime are accepted and correctly transformed into CloudFormation templates.
Requested changes
- Add
nodejs26.x to the list of supported Lambda runtimes in the SAM specification schema and transform validator
- Update integration-test templates (e.g. in
integration/resources/templates/) that reference Node.js runtimes to
include or cover nodejs26.x
- Update any documentation examples that reference the latest Node.js runtime
Relationship to other SAM components
This is part of a chain of SAM-related issues for nodejs26.x support:
