structurizr
Structurizr is a "models as code" tool designed for the C4 model.
- Generate C4 context, container, and component diagrams from code definitions
- Export architecture as PlantUML, Mermaid, or interactive web views
- Version control architecture alongside codebase in Git
Eliminates hand-drawn architecture diagrams that drift from reality. Code-based C4 models stay in sync with actual system decisions and scale across multiple views.
Engineering teams documenting system architecture for onboarding, compliance, or cross-team alignment without maintaining separate diagram tools.
