🐞 Describe the bug

Deployment on Vercel using Node 24.x results in a 500 error (due to deprecated url.parse() method usage) when trying to login the application.

📚 To Reproduce

2. Create repository with the environments
   ACKEE_USERNAME, ACKEE_PASSWORD, ACKEE_MONGODB, ACKEE_ALLOW_ORIGIN
3. Configure build settings: Build command: npm run build + Output directory: dist
4. Deploy
5. Go to the page created by vercel https://some-ackee-app.vercel.app
6. Login in with <ACKEE_USERNAME> and <ACKEE_PASSWORD>
7. The login page a "Response not successful: Received status code 500" error.

💡 Expected behavior

🖼️ Screenshots

⚙️ Environment

• Installation: Vercel
• Ackee version: 3.5.1

📋 Additional context

• I've tested the build locally with the docker compose variant: this seems to work perfectly using the same values for: ACKEE_USERNAME, ACKEE_PASSWORD, ACKEE_MONGODB, ACKEE_ALLOW_ORIGIN variales.
• The application in the container is able to make a connection to the MongoDB Atlas cluster: mongodb+srv://...:...@....mongodb.net/
• Update: I noticed the same error on the netlify build

It's a known issue, but I still have no solution. Made a lot of dependency updates on develop and hope that one of them will fix the issue, but I still need to take a closer look.
