Context, Containers, Components, Code Model (C4 Model)
The C4 Model is a Lean graphical notation technique for modelling the Architecture of Software systems. It relies on other Modelling Techniques like UML and ERD.
The 4 Cs stand for:
- Context
- Containers (not the Docker-thing, a.k.a. “Systems”, but that doesn’t start with a “C”)
- Components
- Code
These are different diagrams that can be created in any order.
