FAQPage Schema
How do I model and govern software architecture using the C4 model?

To model and govern software architecture using the C4 model, you need structured tooling that maps systems, containers, and components while enforcing conformance rules to reduce drift and ensure traceable decisions.

What is the best way to detect architecture drift during feature development?

Detecting architecture drift requires continuous conformance checks against your documented C4 model and ADRs, ensuring implementation aligns with governance rules and triggering updates when deviations occur.

How do I write and manage Architecture Decision Records for project setup?

Managing Architecture Decision Records involves documenting traceable architectural decisions within a governance workflow, linking them directly to your C4 model components and technology radar entries.

Can I track DORA metrics alongside architecture governance and conformance rules?

Tracking DORA metrics alongside architecture governance is supported by integrating delivery performance measurements with conformance rules and drift detection to align engineering velocity with architectural integrity.

Does Archyl MCP support API contracts and event channels for architecture reviews?

Archyl MCP supports API contracts and event channels by integrating them into your C4 model documentation and architecture review workflows, ensuring traceable governance across distributed systems.

When should I use conformance rules for architecture documentation?

Conformance rules for architecture documentation should be used when you need to enforce structural standards across projects, detect drift automatically, and maintain governance scoring during continuous feature development.
