Diagrams should be effortless to create and update, ensuring everyone has access to the latest information. Engineers are code wizards, but even the best get lost in sprawling code. Creating and maintaining clear diagrams should be effortless. Up-to-date visuals ensure everyone stays on the same page, eliminating confusion and wasted time. The C4 model was created to help software development teams describe and communicate software architecture. C4 stands for “Context, Containers, Components, and Code”. The C4 model provides four levels to describe a complex system: Context, Containers, Components, and Code. Each level provides a different perspective on the system to help understand its various components and interactions. By using the C4 model, teams can create comprehensive and easy-to-understand software architecture diagrams that facilitate communication and collaboration.
