C4 models as code - Simon Brown - NDC Porto 2023

Automation

"Explore the world of C4 models as code with Simon Brown, showcasing the power of Structurizer to create consistent, scalable, and maintainable software modeling systems."

Key takeaways

C4 models can be used to create enterprise-wide modeling of software systems
Structurizer is a tool that allows modeling of software systems using C4 models as code
The C4 model consists of four levels: context, containers, components, and code
Each level provides a different view of the system, with the context level providing a high-level overview and the code level providing low-level implementation details
The Structurizer DSL is a domain-specific language that allows users to create C4 models
The Structurizer rendering engine can generate diagrams from C4 models
The Structurizer Lite version is a free, open-source version that can be run locally
The Structurizer DSL is designed to be easy to use and allows for rapid creation of C4 models
The Structurizer tooling takes away from the user’s hands, allowing for automated modeling and diagram generation
C4 models can be exported to various formats, including PlantUML, mermaid, and static images
The Structurizer DSL supports scripting and allows for automation of tasks
Structurizer can be integrated with other tools and environments, such as GitHub and Confluence
The Structurizer tooling provides a way to createmultiple views onto the same model, allowing for different audiences to see different levels of detail
The Structurizer tooling provides a way to version control and collaborate on C4 models
