Change default runtime to nodejs10.x

[tj]

8.x is end-of-life now (seems often holy haha)

• QA and merge shim: refactor nodejs shim to work on node8 or node10 #778
• change default
• adjust docs

• (PRO) Change warming runtime as well

Maybe you could prioritize that, since it's PRO and also it cannot be manually changed by us at all. Thanks!

ahh you're right thanks! AWS doesn't terminate support for the older versions so it should be fine, they just don't allow updates, but wouldn't hurt to update them (I still have side projects running on 6.x)

Bad news for Python folk, looks like AWS completely removed the Python binaries in the nodejs10.x runtime, supporting Python would require a Python-specific shim now

Thank you very much.

I see. I have projects running in customer's AWS accounts and they're the ones getting the EOL e-mails. That's why I'm concerned about having everything upgraded.

Yeah the way they word it makes it sound scary than it is haha, it'd be pretty terrible if they just stopped existing Lambdas, especially at the rate Node EOL's these.
