C4 Model

Architecture review sessions are where your team's C4 Model decisions come to life. Engineers walk through Context diagrams to align stakeholders, debate Container boundaries in design meetings, and explain Component relationships during onboarding calls. These conversations are rich with the reasoning behind your system's structure — why a particular service boundary exists, or why the Code level was scoped the way it was.

The problem is that recording these sessions doesn't make them usable. When a new developer needs to understand how your C4 Model maps to the actual codebase, searching through a two-hour architecture walkthrough is rarely practical. Critical decisions about Container responsibilities or Context-level dependencies stay buried in timestamps no one remembers.

Converting those recordings into structured documentation changes how your team references architectural knowledge. A searchable transcript with extracted decisions means someone can find the exact moment your team agreed on a Container boundary — without scrubbing through video. You can also surface recurring C4 Model terminology across multiple sessions, making it easier to spot where definitions drift over time or where diagrams no longer match what was actually built.

If your team regularly records architecture discussions, design reviews, or onboarding walkthroughs that involve system diagrams, turning those recordings into indexed documentation is worth exploring.
