Node.js 24 is now available on Azure App Service for Linux

Node.js 24 LTS is live on Azure App Service for Linux. You can create a new Node 24 app through the Azure portal, automate it with the Azure CLI, or roll it out using your favorite ARM/Bicep templates - faster runtime, tighter tooling, same App Service simplicity.

A quick look at what the new runtime gives you:

1. Faster, more modern JavaScript Node.js 24 ships with the V8 13.6 engine and npm 11. You get newer JavaScript capabilities like RegExp.escape, Float16Array for tighter numeric data, improved async context handling, global URLPattern, and better WebAssembly memory support. All of this means cleaner code and better performance without extra polyfills or libraries. This release line is an even-numbered release and has moved into Long Term Support (LTS) in October 2025, which makes it a safe target for production apps.

2. Cleaner built-in testing workflows The built-in node:test runner in Node.js 24 now automatically waits on nested subtests, so you get reliable, predictable test execution without wiring up manual await logic or pulling in a third-party test framework. That means fewer flaky “test didn’t finish” errors in CI.

Bring your Node.js 24 app to App Service for Linux, scale it, monitor it, and take advantage of the latest runtime improvements.
