Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
On mashing up modelling techniques for fun and profit 2026-05-18 oskar dudyczSoftware ArchitectureMany people believe there should be one, and only one, way to model software. I think differently, I like to mix different techniques. For instance, I believe there’s a strong synergy between C4 Model, Context Maps, and EventStorming. They all allow us to look at the system from a different angle and act as simulations, providing different feedback on whether our model will fly. Look below for the diagram I prepared for my upcoming workshop. It’s a C4 diagram showing containers in a hospitality system (so-called Property Management, where property means hotel). A container gives quick feedback on how many pieces I’ll potentially need to manage and deploy, and it also shows me boundaries.
