deployment-architecture

You can generate C4 deployment diagrams by mapping containers and components to infrastructure targets across development, staging, and production environments. This provides environment-specific visual architectures that reflect your current deployment setup.

This deployment architecture approach applies to both brownfield and greenfield projects. It formalizes your infrastructure mapping by producing environment-specific C4 diagrams and IaC-ready outputs regardless of your project's current lifecycle stage.

You generate IaC-ready outputs by providing explicit container-to-infrastructure mappings and environment blueprints. This produces DevOps-ready specifications with defined service types, sizes, and configurations that teams can implement directly with infrastructure as code tools.

Yes, you need environment blueprints for development, staging, and production. The architecture mapping requires explicit container-to-infrastructure definitions for each environment to produce accurate C4 deployment diagrams and architecture-registry inputs.

The best way to maintain deployment diagrams is using a single source of truth that formalizes container-to-infrastructure mapping. This enables consistent, implementable specs and produces environment-specific C4 deployment diagrams that reflect your current architecture.
