After upgrading to Ignition 8.3, I noticed that I need to restart the Gateway every time I rebuild and test my module, which significantly increases development time.  
Is there any recommended way to speed up the development cycle or reload modules without a full Gateway restart?

No, module reloading at runtime is completely gone. This wasn't a tradeoff we made lightly, but the increased stability at runtime was deemed worth it.

We're planning to add the ability to more easily deploy a module + restart the gateway via a Gradle task; see this thread: [Issue Upgrading Third Party Modules](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/issue-upgrading-third-party-modules/111257)

And for the particular case of reloading **web** assets, such as Perspective component data, there is a way to have the gateway always load assets from disk instead of your compiled module:

> If you run your gateway with a system property override (e.g. via wrapper.java.additional in the ignition.conf file) following a format of res.path.moduleID, pointing to a semicolon delimited list of absolute file paths, the module's contained resources will be skipped and we'll go directly to those paths to try to load contained resources.
