What does this hint mean when the basic function is running? Excuse me?

[gabriellsh]

Deprecated functions mean it's code that is no longer going to be supported by the developer of the package. Usually that part of the code is kept so functionality isn't broken until the user has enough time to change it. Due to that, a warning is added, so you know at some point in the future your code could break if you update.

What should I do, please?
Upgrade nodejs?

[noobbbbb]

Still relevant: after upgrade to 3.11.1

• OS: CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804
• node : v12.18.4
• npm: 6.14.8
• mongodb v4.0.5

[cal940]

Still relevant after upgrade to 3.14.0:

• OS: Docker (Linux 4.19.0-16-amd64 Refactored and reorganised entire css/less files and logic. #1 SMP Debian 4.19.181-1 (2021-03-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux)
• node: v12.22.1
• npm: 6.14.12
• mongodb: v4.0.24

Negative side effekt is, that I can‘t see my users anymore
