I was also getting these error's when upgrading from webpack v4 to v5. Resolved by making the following changes to webpack.config.js

added resolve.fallback property

removed node property

{
resolve: {
  modules: [...],
  fallback: {
    "fs": false,
    "tls": false,
    "net": false,
    "path": false,
    "zlib": false,
    "http": false,
    "https": false,
    "stream": false,
    "crypto": false,
    "crypto-browserify": require.resolve('crypto-browserify'), //if you want to use this module also don't forget npm i crypto-browserify 
  } 
},
entry: [...],
output: {...},
module: {
  rules: [...]
},
plugins: [...],
optimization: {
  minimizer: [...],
},
// node: {
//   fs: 'empty',
//   net: 'empty',
//   tls: 'empty'
// },
}

upgrade from v4 to v5 => https://webpack.js.org/migrate/5/#clean-up-configuration

I think most the answers here would resolve your issue. However, if you don't need Polyfills for your node development, then I suggest using target: 'node' in your Webpack module configuration. This helped resolve the issue for me.

Here is some documentation on the answer: https://webpack.js.org/concepts/targets/

Read support for Node.js core modules with node-polyfill-webpack-plugin:

With the package installed, add the following to your webpack.config.js:

const NodePolyfillPlugin = require("node-polyfill-webpack-plugin")

module.exports = {
    // Other rules...
    plugins: [
        new NodePolyfillPlugin()
    ]
}
