c4-container

To map components to deployment containers, you synthesize existing C4 component-level documentation with deployment definitions to generate container-level architecture documentation. This process details how each component is packaged into a deployable unit.

You can generate API documentation for container interfaces by analyzing the mapped deployment containers. The Skill automatically creates OpenAPI and Swagger specifications to define the interactions between deployed microservices.

Yes, you can visualize container architecture using Mermaid C4Container diagrams. The Skill generates these diagrams directly from your deployment definitions to illustrate the physical deployment units and their relationships.

The C4 container model is used in system design to bridge the gap between logical software components and their physical deployment units. It creates clear documentation for container-level architecture, showing how microservices are packaged.

Yes, existing C4 component-level documentation and deployment definitions are required. The Skill synthesizes these inputs to map components to specific containers, document container interfaces, and generate container diagrams.

The best way to document microservices deployment architecture is to map each microservice component to its deployment container, generate OpenAPI specifications for their APIs, and create Mermaid C4Container diagrams to visualize the interactions.
