  Recent results on the production of light nuclei, including deuterons,
tritons, $^3$He, $^4$He and the corresponding antinuclei in Pb-Pb collisions at
$\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV are presented and compared with theoretical
predictions to provide insight into their production mechanisms in heavy-ion
collisions. The large variety of measurements performed with the ALICE
apparatus at different energies and collision systems allows us to constrain
the models of the production mechanisms of light flavour baryon clusters, in
particular those based on the coalescence and statistical hadronisation
approaches. Furthermore, new measurements of the elliptic and triangular flow
of deuteron and $^3$He produced in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$
= 5.02 TeV are presented and compared to the expectations from coalescence and
hydrodynamic models. The measurement of the elliptic and triangular flow of
light nuclei provides a powerful tool to give insight into their production
mechanism and freeze-out properties at a late stage of the collision evolution.
