Code Review
This pull request, generated by Snyk, addresses a security vulnerability by upgrading parse-server from version 5.2.1 to 8.6.2. While the security fix is important, this is a major version jump across three major versions (v5 -> v8) and introduces significant breaking changes that will likely break the application. My review highlights critical points that must be addressed before merging: updating the required Node.js version, upgrading the parse client SDK for compatibility, and carefully reviewing the parse-server migration guides to adapt the existing code. These changes are necessary to ensure the application remains functional after the upgrade.

This is a major version upgrade from v5 to v8, which introduces significant breaking changes. The Snyk metadata for this PR even flags isBreakingChange:true. To ensure the application continues to work correctly, please consider the following:
- Breaking Changes: Review the official
parse-servermigration guides for versions 6, 7, and 8 to understand and adapt to breaking changes in configuration, APIs, and Cloud Code. - Node.js Version:
parse-serverv6 and later require Node.js v16 or newer. Theenginesfield inpackage.jsoncurrently allows older versions (>=12.22.10). You will need to update your runtime environment and likely adjust theenginesfield to something like>=16. - Client SDK Compatibility: The
parseJavaScript SDK is at version3.4.2, which is likely incompatible withparse-serverv8. This dependency should also be upgraded to a compatible version (e.g., the latest4.xor5.xversion) to ensure that features and tests continue to work as expected.
I recommend creating a separate branch from this one to perform the necessary code updates and thorough testing before merging this security fix.
