Support for Node 6 (needed for AWS Lambda)

See original GitHub issue

Would be great if you could adjust the babel compilation settings in a way that the resulting output also runs in Node 6 (or even lower). Otherwise it’s not possible to deploy apps using apollo-upload-server to AWS Lambda.

I know how to do it; we used to support Node.js v6.4. I and a lot of other package authors consciously chose to drop support for v6 since it is a year and a half old now; v7.6 with native async/await has been out for almost a year and v8.x LTS is out now.

The min required Node.js version has always been visible and accurate in package.json engines so there should not have been nasty surprises. As for best practices, AWS should really provide reasonably recent versions of Node.js, especially if users are becoming increasingly frustrated that newer packages are not compatible with the legacy environment.

It’s a shame for the majority to lose native async/await, but until AWS Lambda provides more up-to-date versions of Node.js I can trial dropping support back down to Node.js v6.10+. I want everyone to have a great experience using apollo-upload-server 🙏
