C4 models as code - Simon Brown - NDC Oslo 2023

[@TheEyzic]

This is mindblowingly brilliant!!! I saw one of his talks before the Structurizr DSL existed and I remembered being impressed but I did not really now how to put it into practice. Now I do! Throughout the presentation it just gets better and better. I will definitely start using this. WOW! :D

This is exactly what I am looking for, thanks for the sharing!

[@altugaecoffice]

is this DSL's grammar based on Hashicorp HCL's grammar?

It’s like Graphvis went to the code gym, did some reps and grew some muscles.

Great work done and as well as the talk, nice tooling for software architects. The main challenge I see is this type of docs need DSL and tools to be created and updated, so the dev team won’t update docs on regular base, it can lead to a point when you have diagrams that are out of sync with real system’s structure, which makes those diagrams less useful or even completely useless to devs.

Are there alternatives that solve this?

@@lucas_sg I think not.. any kind of documentation tends to rot

Demo god was not kind 😂! But still great presentation as usual!

I am not sure why there is such focus on data modelling early on. The focus of information tech is to enhance and extend abilities. Data has a support role to that.

I am not old! The Rational Rose UI was horrible but still better than PlantUML. 🙄 Am I old?🤔

I understand Viso ain't going to cut it but why make it so incredibly over complicated to not just code but compile and setup. Onboarding stakeholders is a nightmare.
