===Considerations and Best Practices=== While dynamic code reloading in Elixir provides many benefits, there are some considerations and best practices to keep in mind: - Dynamic code reloading should be used primarily during development or in specific scenarios where hot-swapping code is necessary. In production environments, it is generally recommended to have a well-defined deployment process that includes restarting the application with the updated code. - When reloading modules, it is important to ensure that the changes are backward-compatible. This means that the new code should still be able to work with existing data and processes without causing any compatibility issues. - Dynamic code reloading is not suitable for all types of changes. Certain changes, such as modifications to data structures or protocol definitions, may require explicit restarts to take effect. - It is a good practice to thoroughly test the reloadable code to ensure that the dynamic reloading works as expected. This includes writing unit tests and integration tests that cover the scenarios where code reloading may occur.
