Official Support for ESLint v8.x Has Ended — Ensure Ongoing Security with HeroDevs' Never-Ending Support

With the end-of-life (EOL) of ESLint v8.x now in effect as of October 5, 2024, the core ESLint team is no longer releasing updates, bug fixes, or security patches for this version. This is a critical concern for businesses across various industries—especially for those in regulated sectors like healthcare, government, finance, and technology—where maintaining security and compliance is essential.

At HeroDevs, we specialize in supporting deprecated and end-of-life open-source software. Our drop-in replacement for ESLint v8.x ensures that your applications remain secure, compliant, and stable—even after official support has ended. With our proactive and continuous monitoring and enterprise-class SLAs, HeroDevs ensures ongoing compatibility, compliance and security assurances which enables your business to continue using ESLint v8.x without the risks that come with unsupported software.

The Challenges of Staying on ESLint v8.x

Organizations may face some challenges when attempting to upgrade from ESLint v8.x to v9.x. The breaking changes introduced in v9.x can cause disruptions to workflows, introduce compatibility issues, and require additional time and resources to address (read more about any breaking changes here).

For organizations where security and compliance are critical—particularly in sectors like healthcare, government, and finance—the risk of staying on an unsupported version of ESLint is compounded by the potential for cyberattacks and compliance violations. However, upgrading immediately may not always be an option due to resource constraints or the complexities of migrating large-scale systems.

That’s where HeroDevs comes in.
