In this article, Christian Eder discusses the increasing trend of defining infrastructure through general purpose programming languages instead of configuration languages. He explores the benefits of using languages like TypeScript, Java and C# for defining infrastructure and highlights some of the tools available such as AWS CDK and Pulumi. With the rise of as code methodologies in software development, Eder suggests that architecture modelling and diagramming should also be done using code. By doing so, it becomes easier to maintain and version control architecture diagrams, and teams can benefit from a more collaborative and transparent approach to software development. Overall, this article provides a helpful overview of the benefits of modelling and diagramming architecture as code.
