Node.js on Databricks: where do i find information about available runtime(s) (versions)?

fehrin — Fri, 08 May 2026 08:42:25 GMT

Hi all,

Following https://www.databricks.com/sites/default/files/2026-02/hands-on-guide-apps-databricks.pdf i created a lakebase based app with React frontend. From the app overwiew page i see
Python 3.11.15; Node.js v22.16.0
as environment used.

There are informational web pages about available runtimes with versions going up to 17.3 (LTS), 18.2 (non LTS) in the cluster (classic?) case and versions going up to 5 in the serverless case (this 5 is what i generally use in my free edition).
None of this pages mention Node.js, so where can i find information about the available Python <-> Node versions on Databricks? And why am i stuck with Python 3.11, using version 5 i am up to Python 3.12 for the rest of my work (especially notebooks).

Thx for enlightment

P.S.

I found it interesting, that (in the meantime) i can work with Lakebase on the free edition.

I found https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/dev-tools/databricks-apps/system-env in the meantime.
