Dynamic Application loading into the vm at runtime

Hello everyone,

I need to load applications dynamically into the erlang vm at runtime. I know it is possible to do this by calling

Application.load(:app_name)
But in a production system, is this optimal and if not what is the best way to this. Alternatives to solving this problem will be appreciated too.
Thank you.

Its the only way to load them dynamically at all. So I’m not sure what your question is…

I thought there were other alternatives.
Thank you for the clarification.
