Let's Talk C4 Models - Visualizing Software Architecture
Friday, Aug 8
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Room 101
Description
We will explore the C4 model, a powerful tool for visualizing and communicating software architecture. We'll dive into what C4 models are, their benefits, and how to implement them in your development process.
We'll start by breaking down the four levels of the C4 model: Context, Containers, Components, and Code. You'll learn how these levels provide a hierarchical view of your system, from high-level context to detailed implementation.
We'll discuss why C4 models are valuable. They enhance communication between team members, provide a consistent way to describe architecture, and offer flexibility for various system types. We'll explore how C4 models can improve design, facilitate documentation, and support agile development practices.
We'll review popular tools for creating C4 diagrams. You'll get insights into choosing the right tool for your team's needs.
Finally, we'll address practical concerns: where to store your C4 diagrams and how to keep them updated. We'll discuss strategies for integrating C4 models into your development workflow, ensuring they remain a living, valuable part of your documentation.
You'll have a clear understanding of how C4 models can enhance your software architecture practices and improve collaboration across your development teams.
