NodeSource Joins OpenJS Foundation as a Gold Member and Announces Partnership to Help Organizations Adopt Modern Node.js. Company to unveil collaboration and showcase AI-powered modernization solutions at JSConf North America 2025
SEATTLE, WA – October 2025 – NodeSource, a global leader in Node.js observability, performance, and AI-powered runtime intelligence, today announced that it is increasing its longstanding commitment to become a Gold Member of the OpenJS Foundation and will debut this collaboration at JSConf North America 2025, presented by the Linux Foundation.
This new partnership marks a major milestone in NodeSource’s ongoing mission to help organizations leverage modern Node.js on their legacy systems to take advantage of the significant improvements in newer versions, while keeping their current systems. As a part of this service, NodeSource will provide LTS Binaries and offer enterprise-grade support, long-term maintenance, and guided modernization programs for organizations running older or unsupported versions of Node.js.
Empowering Legacy to Modern Node.js Transformations
Extended Support for N|Solid Runtime delivers the stability organizations need to keep their Node.js applications secure and efficient.
Designed for environments like RHEL 7 and Ubuntu 18.04, the solution provides extended security coverage, performance optimization, and peace of mind—all without forcing costly infrastructure upgrades.
Stay secure. Stay productive.Through the partnership, NodeSource will extend its Support and Maintenance solutions — including, and expert advisory services — to enterprises seeking to modernize at scale while maintaining uptime and compliance.
NodeSource’s support offering is designed to:
- Secure legacy and unsupported Node.js versions with custom vulnerability patches and long-term maintenance.
- Provide expert migration pathways to the latest LTS Node.js releases.
- Deliver enterprise-grade support SLAs that keep mission-critical systems operational and compliant.
This program builds on the insights shared in NodeSource’s recent publication, “Security Patches for Legacy Unsupported Node.js Versions”, which outlines the increasing risks organizations face when operating outside the official Node.js support window.
“NodeSource has always shared our mission of keeping open source healthy and sustainable,” said Robin Bender Ginn, Executive Director of the OpenJS Foundation. “Their participation in the Ecosystem Sustainability Program helps ensure organizations who use OpenJS-hosted JavaScript projects remain stable and supported for the long run.”
AI-Powered Observability and Runtime Modernization
As part of its showcase at JSConf North America, NodeSource will demonstrate how its AI-enhanced observability and diagnostics tools—N|Solid, N|Sentinel, and the N|Solid Runtime—empower organizations to identify, diagnose, and remediate performance and security issues across hybrid and modernized Node.js environments.
These capabilities help teams:
-
Detect and resolve performance issues automatically with context-aware AI.
-
Improve application security using real-time scanning and scoring.
-
Accelerate modernization by pairing observability data with actionable insights for developers and operators.
“This partnership with the OpenJS Foundation represents our shared commitment to the future of Node.js,” said Russ Whitman, CEO of NodeSource. “For over a decade, NodeSource has supported the ecosystem with trusted runtime tools, expert guidance, and enterprise reliability.”
Adrian Estrada, NodeSource CTO and OpenJS Board Member offered, “As a Gold Sponsor, we’re deepening our investment into the community while also helping organizations take advantage of modern Node even with legacy systems.”
