2025 Roadmap

Node.js Functions Planning – 2025 of Year

Our roadmap is an open and honest plan for the next 6-12 months. We continuously tune the plan based on feedback and we will provide more detail in each of our monthly milestones. We do our best to estimate timelines, but in return we ask for patience and understanding as the timelines can often change during execution of a feature. We plan to cut a new roadmap roughly annually and archive the old roadmap for historical purposes.

This will help drive transparency and keep stakeholders informed of progress.

Please share any feedback or let us know if any of the Node items need adjustment.
