architecture c4 model - ghdrako/doc_snipets GitHub Wiki
The C4 model is a set of architectural standard diagrams. At its core, C4 contains four standard diagrams: a system context diagram, a container diagram, a component diagram, and a code diagram. The system context diagram is at the highest level, illustrating an application’s interfaces with users and other applications. Each subsequent level drills through a specific area of the application, providing ever more granular detail. The lowest level of granularity is the code diagram at the bottom. The model also contains side diagrams: a system landscape diagram, which illustrates how a portfolio of applications interacts; a dynamic diagram, which illustrates how static elements work together at run time to form a feature; and a final diagram, which is a deployment diagram and illustrates the platform that an application is deployed on.
