A picture is worth 1000 lines of code
summary
Shows how the C4 technique plus tooling turns unreadable code into actionable diagrams: uses C4 model for context/containers/components/classes, the Structurizr client to auto-publish architecture diagrams from code, and NServiceBus + ServiceControl’s audit log to reconstruct message flows. Demonstrates the NDC Sydney Twitter leaderboard built on a hashbus of NServiceBus endpoints, six projectors, and RavenDB; proves that adding a conversation ID and message metadata yields a 7-message trace that scales via MapReduce into a near‑real‑time topology.
