setup-architecture-as-code

Automate architecture documentation by defining your system structure as code using Structurizr DSL. This generates and maintains C4 model diagrams automatically, integrating with version control for seamless updates and validations.

Manage architecture diagrams in version control by adopting a code-based architecture approach with Structurizr DSL. This translates C4 model abstractions into structured code, enabling version tracking, automated updates, and consistent validations.

Structurizr DSL works by defining system components, containers, and relationships as code. It generates C4 model diagrams across different levels of architecture abstraction, which can then be rendered and validated using structurizr-cli.

Yes, you can migrate from diagram-based to code-based architecture. This transition involves replacing static diagram files with Structurizr DSL code, automating the creation and maintenance of your C4 modeling documentation.

Yes, structurizr-cli is a required dependency to validate architecture-as-code. It renders and validates the Structurizr DSL, ensuring your C4 modeling definitions generate accurate architecture documentation without manual diagram checks.

Code-based architecture requires learning Structurizr DSL and C4 modeling principles. While it automates diagram generation and integrates with version control, initial setup and migrating existing visual diagrams into structured DSL code can be time-consuming.
