Use nodenv to manage Node versions in development

danger

Replaced by ADR 0081

nodenv makes it easy for developers to upgrade Node in their development environments.

Considered Alternatives​

  • Docker-based development environment setup
  • Homebrew-based solution where we'd need to pin the Homebrew version of Node.

Decision Outcome​

Use nodenv to manage local Node versions. It's widely used, regularly updated, and allows folks to have multiple Node versions on their system. The Docker-based development environment would provide more a consistent local dependency story, but would add too much overhead.
