You can migrate to Node.js 8.10 on Lambda but that will be deprecated at the end of the year as Node.js 8.x will officially go off Long Term Support by the Node.js organization at that time with only 10.x and 12.x being on LTS.

This past week AWS added support for Node.js 10.x (.x as they will be applying incremental updates to Node.js 10). I have already migrated several Skill functions to Node.js 10.x without any problems and gained some new Node.js 10.x functionality (for-await-of, https.get options). The only issue you would see is when you use the ask command line to deploy your function, you will get the warning message:

Warn]: Please make sure the runtime of following Lambda resource(s) in project .ask/config is "nodejs8.10" since you are using ask-sdk as dependency.

I was able to safely ignore it. I found the ask-cli module that displays that message and fixed my copy to eliminate the message for Node.js 8.10 and 10.x deployments.
