Erlang/Elixir on Docker and Hot Code Swap
<p>One of the features of Erlang (and, by definition, Elixir) is that you can do hot code swap. However, this seems to be at odd with Docker, where you would need to stop your instances and restart new ones with new images holding the new code. This essentially seem to be what everyone does.</p>

<p>This being said, I also know that it is possible to use one hidden node to distribute updates to all other nodes over network. Of course, just like that is sounds like asking for trouble, but...</p>

<p>My question would be the following: has anyone tried and achieved with reasonable success to set up a Docker-based infrastructure for Erlang/Elixir that allowed Hot-code swapping? If so, what are the do's, don'ts and caveats?</p>
