Diagrams as Code 2.0 • Simon Brown • GOTO 2021

Duration : 00:39:06

The speaker has created diagrams as codes 2.0, which is aimed at helping create architecture diagrams, in a bid to solve communication issues that arise when teams struggle with visualizing architecture. Most teams do not use UML and instead opt for whiteboards, which makes the diagrams look unstructured. The C4 model is presented as an alternative, as it allows for a hierarchical set of architecture diagrams, letting you tell different stories to different audiences. The model consists of different levels of technical detail, and each allows you to present a different level of information. While there is no C4 notation, having a diagram key or legend can help describe the notation.
