As of today, DXP main development branch is tied to node v.10.15.3 which reached its eol during 2020.

Besides the obvious need to move to a more modern node version, a policy for node support would provide guidance to our developers about what to expect when using our tooling.

Goals of this epic are:

• Identify all the places where we make use of node in DXP, our dev tools and other packages we provide and then bundle into DXP
• Define a sustainable strategy to keep our products working with a modern node version
• Make a node upgrade DXP product-wide
