Upgrade Node JS from 16 to 18

[abdullahwaheed]

Abstract

edX MFEs are currently using Node JS 16 across the board. We have to upgrade each MFE to use Node JS 18.

Context & Background

Node 16's support will end on September 11, 2023. So we have to upgrade node before that. We are planning to add it in Palm release

Scope & Approach

We have tested some MFEs with node 18 upgrade and there were minimal or no changes. So we are confident that we can upgrade it without much changes and on time

Value & Impact

If we skip this upgrade, we won't get security upgrades in Node after this September.

analytics-dashboard and studio-frontend are both deprecated so we won't prioritize those upgrades. edx-platform is still needed but we're about to kick-off the upgarde to Node 20, so we will collect edx-platform as a part of that upgrade procedure. Everything else has been closed. As of now, I'm considering this work completed. Work to unblock the edx-platform upgrade should continue but we don't need this top-level epic to track it anymore.
