Mashing up modelling techniques for fun and profit
The article discusses the benefits of combining various software modeling techniques for improved system understanding. It highlights the synergy between C4 Model, Context Maps, and EventStorming, emphasizing their roles in providing different perspectives and feedback on software architecture. The author encourages experimentation with these techniques to enhance collaboration and creativity in modeling processes.
- ▪The author believes in mixing different modeling techniques rather than adhering to a single method.
- ▪C4 Model, Context Maps, and EventStorming can provide unique insights into system architecture and interactions.
- ▪The article suggests using colors and specific examples to clarify module relationships and boundaries.

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.
