Best Practices for Managing PromptTemplate Serialization in Development Workflows

[dnnane]

I am currently integrating PromptTemplate's save function to serialize prompt configurations into JSON within my development workflow. I seek guidance on the most effective use of this serialization process, specifically:

Optimal Timing for Serialization: At what stage in the prompt development and iteration process is it recommended to serialize prompt configurations? Should serialization be performed after every change to a prompt, at specific milestones, or on a periodic schedule? What factors should influence this decision?

Integration within the Codebase: Would it be more appropriate to incorporate the serialization logic directly within the main codebase, implying that serialization is a core functionality, or should it be treated as an auxiliary process and placed in a separate utilities module? What are the pros and cons of each approach, and how might it affect project maintainability and scalability?
