runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_18_X,

runtime is hard-coded to NODEJS_18_X

I want to be able to manually configure this runtime value to a different version of node for compliance purposes within my organization.

I am proposing this could be done through a configuration parameter in the third argument to the subscribe method, much like the defaults block in the Function constructor.

Like this for example:

  bus.subscribe(EventType.ERROR, {
    handler: "...",
  }, {
    retries: 3, 
    runtime: "nodejs20.x",
  });

In the absence of this additional parameter, it would default to whatever the function default was provided to the function. If that is also empty, it would default to Node JS 18.x (as it does now), following this logic:

props?.runtime || this.props.defaults?.function?.runtime || "nodejs18.x"

I'm also seeing the runtime for lambda functions hardcoded at nodejs18.x... I'd like to be able to use nodejs20.x

Hacky fix for anyone who runs into this in the future: run this command in the directory where your node_modules are located:

sed -i -e 's/NODEJS_18_X/NODEJS_20_X/' $(find . -name "EventBus.js")

What this does is $(find . -name "EventBus.js") finds the path of the EventBus.js within your node_modules directory, then the sed command replaces the NODEJS_18_x with NODEJS_20_x in only the EventBus.js file.

You can use this on older versions of SST as well if you can't upgrade to the latest version for whatever reason, for example SST 2.19.1 uses NODEJS_14_x.

@cold-logic right what is that about?

can someone provide some clarity on why the Function, and EventBus's runtimes are hardcoded?
