The documentation here uses the C4 model by Simon Brown. We use the FC4 toolset to normalise the source of C4 diagrams authored with Structurizr Express.
As of 2021 this repository is no longer the source of truth. For the latest information you should look at the replacement repository, laa-architecture-as-code.
As a result of the above, this repository has been archived and marked as read only.
