c4-container

You document microservices deployment architecture by organizing services, databases, and message brokers into deployment-level containers. This skill transforms system descriptions and manifests into clear C4 container diagrams with interface maps and infrastructure context.

The best way to generate Mermaid C4 container diagrams from service boundaries is by processing system descriptions and manifests. This skill outputs Mermaid C4 diagrams with technology labels, communication protocols, and dependency mappings.

Yes, you can map API gateways, identity services, catalog services, and databases into a readable C4 deployment view. This skill organizes microservices platform components into deployment-level containers with documented interfaces and scaling notes.

Yes, capturing communication protocols and technology labels is a core function of C4 container documentation. This skill satisfies requirements for technology labeling, communication protocols, dependencies, and scaling notes across all mapped containers.

You need C4 container documentation for platform reviews and onboarding when explaining how a microservices platform is structured, deployed, and connected. It produces consistent container diagrams and infrastructure notes for architecture communication tasks.

C4 container diagrams focus on deployment-level architecture, so they do not capture code-level details or component interactions within a single service. This skill maps deployment boundaries and external interfaces rather than internal service implementation.
