I also tried to change the version of std = c ++ 11 to std = c ++ 14 in bindings.gyp, but unfortunately this prevented the project from building.

Is anyone working on this?

My C++ experience is a bit low, but maybe I can try to work a bit on this on my spare time

Using -std=c++14 with gcc 10, the project builds. Should build using something newer than gcc 8.3 that has support for c++14, which IIRC is what V8 now requires too.

Had some timeouts using a kafka I already had up, but those don't happen with the kafka raised by run_docker.sh script.

Both make test and make e2e pass
