Since [email protected], the minimum supported Node version is >=16.12.0. By default, Render uses Node version 14.

There are 4 ways to customize this on Render detailed here:

• A NODE_VERSION environment variable
• A .node-version file
• A .nvmrc file
• An engines section in your package.json

I managed to repro your issue during a deploy on Render without specifying any version and confirmed that adding a .node-version version file at the root of the repo containing 16.12.0 fixes the issue.

As Render is still using Node version 14 by default, I wonder if it could be worth documenting this until they update the default version in https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/deploy/render/#how-to-deploy ?

@HiDeoo agreed, this should be mentioned in the docs please
