4+1 Architectural View Model

It’s incredibly difficult to describe a complex system, regardless if you are developing a monolith or (micro) services. Use cases, code organization/navigation, interactions between services, and deployment/infrastructure are just some of the aspects that comprise the architecture of an entire system.
