C4 Model for Architecture Diagrams

information shared by a colleague. Keeping this info here.

The C4 Model is a simple way to structure architecture diagrams without overcomplicating things. It has four key views:

• System Context (link) – Big picture: the system, its users, and external dependencies.
• Container (link) – Breakdown of the system into key components.
• Deployment (link) – Where things run (servers, cloud, etc.).
• Dynamic (link) – How components interact over time.

Keeps things clear without getting lost in UML.
