System Architecture & C4 Studio
Make the system easier to explain.
One clear inventory. A context view for the wider team, a container view for the builders, and traceable relationship IDs that keep the conversation grounded.
Context rolls internal containers up to this system. Container view opens its applications and data stores.
A C4 container is an application or data store. It does not mean a Docker container.
Loads the inventory, not manual diagram edits. Every creation makes a new page so previous work stays intact.

Focus software system
Application or data store
External software system
Import an updated inventory to compare IDs with the previous model, or load a saved page first.
Routes and labels are static. Moving a card does not reconnect its lines. Routing notes identify overlaps for review; rebuild a fresh view after model changes.

Edit the declared inventory. No cloud accounts are connected and no infrastructure or code is scanned.
