In October 2025, Chris Dolek upgraded the database layer of the promptfoo/promptfoo repository to maintain compatibility with Node.js v24. He focused on updating the better-sqlite3 library from version 11.10.0 to 12.4.1, ensuring the project remained secure and performant as Node.js evolved. This work involved careful dependency and package management, with updates reflected in both package.json and package-lock.json to synchronize the environment. Using JavaScript and leveraging his expertise in Node.js, Chris addressed compatibility and security concerns with minimal risk, demonstrating a focused approach to maintaining the stability and reliability of the project’s data layer during a targeted upgrade.
