+## Reload configuration without stopping your services
+
+In a production environment you may need to change the microservice's configuration without restarting it.
+
+PyMS has a feature to reload the configuration:
+
+```
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/reload-config
+```
+
+This endpoint calls the method `Microservice.reload_conf()`, which restarts the services, 
+the encryption configuration and initializes `create_app`.
+
+```python
+    def reload_conf(self):
+        self.delete_services()
+        self.config.reload()
+        self.services = []
+        self.init_services()
+        self.crypt.config.reload()
+        self.create_app()
+```
+
+This means that your libraries will be restarted, which is why it's important to initialize your BD, 
+your configuration inside `init_libs` method. See more info [how to use Microservice class in this link](ms_class.md)
