Online Troubleshooting and Retrospective for Prototyping and Interaction Design: Deployment and Upgrade

This category of data typically comes from Figma or Axure prototype files, internal team design systems, user feedback records, and usability test

What data for this category looks like

This category of data typically comes from Figma or Axure prototype files, internal team design systems, user feedback records, and usability test results. Daily deliverables include interactive prototype drafts, page flowcharts, component property descriptions, and design review records. Data update frequency is usually once per week or synchronized with product version iterations. Core fields include page jump paths, interaction trigger logic, component style specifications, and review comments. There are no uniform mandatory units; adjustments are made based on specific design projects.

What constraints these characteristics impose on deployment and upgrades

Data for this category relies on structured files exported from design tools and internal team review records. During deployment and upgrades, configurations must align with the current version’s prototype logic and design system specifications. Since data update frequency follows version iterations, associated configurations of historical prototype versions must be retained during upgrades to avoid a disconnect between development and design documentation after launch. Design-related static resources and interaction logic parameters must also match configuration items stored in the database. If data sources change or formats are adjusted, deployment link reading rules must be updated synchronously to prevent path parsing errors.

How to set configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
MONGODB_URImongodb://username:password@host:27017/fastgpt_design?authSource=adminStores prototype file metadata, review records, and design system configurations; must specify the corresponding business database
PG_URLpostgresql://user:pass@pg-host:5432/design_db?sslmode=requireStores structured design data such as interaction path configurations and component properties; enable SSL to ensure data transmission security
DB_MAX_LINK20–30Adapts to concurrent requirements for batch reading of design documents, and prevents database connection exhaustion
REDIS_URLredis://:redis-pass@redis-host:6379/0Caches frequently accessed prototype preview links and design review status to reduce database query pressure
FE_DOMAINhttps://design.your-domain.comConfigures the frontend service access domain name for generating accessible prototype preview links
FILE_TOKEN_KEYRandom 32-character stringEncrypts prototype file access tokens to prevent unauthorized access to design documents

Three common errors

  • Symptom: After restarting the Docker container, all prototype preview configurations and design system association parameters are lost. Cause: The database was not mounted to local persistent storage. The PG_URL and MONGODB_URI configurations inside the container are only stored in the container’s temporary directory, and data is cleared after restart.
  • Symptom: After uploading an Axure prototype file, page paths cannot be parsed normally. Cause: FILE_TOKEN_KEY was not configured correctly, resulting in failed file access permission verification, and structured data inside the prototype file cannot be read.
  • Symptom: Design review records cannot be loaded normally after an upgrade. Cause: DB_MAX_LINK values were not updated synchronously, resulting in insufficient database connections, and review record data cannot be pulled in batches.

How to confirm configurations are properly set

  • Run a database connection test script to verify connectivity for the MONGODB_URI and PG_URL configurations, and confirm stored design data can be read.
  • Access the domain configured in FE_DOMAIN to verify that prototype preview links open normally, and confirm the encryption logic of the FILE_TOKEN_KEY configuration is effective.
  • Restart the Docker container and check if design configuration data in the database is retained, to confirm persistent storage configuration is correct.
  • For FastGPT v4.17.0, batch upload multiple prototype files to verify the DB_MAX_LINK configuration supports concurrent read requests without connection timeout errors.
