what difference between lts version , stable version of node.js ?
what version should use on production ?
it depends using node.js in apps , how sensitive they.
lts (long term support, v6.11.2) - mentioned in comment, have support , maintenance @ least 18months. better use 1 in production node.js back-end service.
stable (currently v8.3.0) - have support approximately 8months, features/updates released more often. version ok production if you're using node.js fron-end services (dependency management etc.). work node.js on back-end well, if have ability update apps without interrupting environment.
the reason of 2 type node.js versions:
as node.js team described when announced feature 2 different types of node.js versions meet node.js needs. basically, if have complex node.js app , want stability, stay on lts. if able update app often, or use node.js fron-end tools, use stable. philosophy push new features, performance updates, bug fixes etc. in quick manner, companies/developers wants 'on edge' technology , loves node.js, able use , expect updates every 2weeks.
