Architecture diagrams in C4 plantuml based files

[exu]

Hi @olensmar let's discuss such form of archietcture diagrams after your return from vacation:
I've used https://c4model.com/ here (was using when doing architecture stuff in Kinguin)

To sum up some pros and cons how I see them:

Pros:

• everything is code - refactoring is easy, you can use your editor to edit everything
• you can automate generation of diagrams
• you don't need to be artist to make nice diagrams - only code
• 4 levels of details (like real map from top level view to small parts) - I've omit code diagrams as it should be autogenerated.
• live preview in VSCode when writing stuff
• speed (a lot faster to do things after some training)
• a lot of diagram types
• can be scripted / automated easily
• it's text :D

Cons:

• maybe autogeneration of diagram has less control over elements position

@exu did you add "service under test" components? (i couldn't find them in the diagrams...)

[exu]

Yes in added SUT commit should be present

[olensmar]

ok - perhaps you need to regenerate the diagrams - i can't find SUT in any of them!?
