    Sorry you have to deal with this. You can stay on Azure Functions. Here is what to change before April 30, 2027:

1. Find apps on Node.js 22. Check WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION on Windows and linuxFxVersion on Linux.
2. Test on Node.js 24. Run your functions locally or in a staging slot on Node.js 24.
3. Switch the version. Set Node.js 24. On Linux Consumption, move to Flex Consumption first.
