# Integration Architecture Diagrams

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 system 의 external collaborators (services, APIs, queues, DBs) 의 visual mapping 의 통한 boundary + flow 의 communication"**. 매 Brown 의 C4 model (2018) 의 Context/Container level, 매 ArchiMate 의 application/technology layer, 매 modern 의 diagrams-as-code (Mermaid, Structurizr, D2) 의 dominant.

## 매 핵심

### 매 Diagram 종류
- **System Context** (C4 L1): 매 system + users + external systems.
- **Container** (C4 L2): 매 deployable units (web, api, db, queue).
- **Component** (C4 L3): 매 container 내부 의 logical block.
- **Sequence**: 매 time-ordered 의 message flow.
- **Data Flow Diagram (DFD)**: 매 process / store / external entity / flow.
- **Deployment**: 매 infra topology (regions, VPCs, nodes).

### 매 Notation
- C4 (simple, opinionated).
- ArchiMate (enterprise, exhaustive).
- UML deployment / component (legacy but valid).
- Custom (Mermaid + emoji label).

### 매 응용
1. Onboarding doc — 매 new hire 의 system map.
2. ADR 의 visual aid.
3. Threat modeling (STRIDE) 의 trust boundary 의 mark.

## 💻 패턴

### C4 System Context (Mermaid)
```mermaid
C4Context
  title System Context — Order Platform
  Person(customer, "Customer", "Buys products")
  System(order, "Order Platform", "Handles order lifecycle")
  System_Ext(stripe, "Stripe", "Payment processor")
  System_Ext(shipping, "ShipEngine", "Shipping carrier API")
  System_Ext(email, "SendGrid", "Transactional email")
  Rel(customer, order, "Places order", "HTTPS")
  Rel(order, stripe, "Charges card", "REST")
  Rel(order, shipping, "Creates shipment", "REST")
  Rel(order, email, "Sends confirmation", "SMTP API")
```

### C4 Container (Structurizr DSL)
```dsl
workspace {
  model {
    user = person "Customer"
    order = softwareSystem "Order Platform" {
      web = container "Web App" "Next.js 15"
      api = container "API" "Node.js / Fastify"
      db  = container "Postgres" "RDS" "Database"
      cache = container "Redis" "ElastiCache"
      queue = container "Kafka" "MSK"
    }
    user -> web "Uses" "HTTPS"
    web -> api "JSON/HTTPS"
    api -> db "SQL"
    api -> cache "RESP"
    api -> queue "produces"
  }
  views { container order { include * autolayout lr } }
}
```

### Sequence — Distributed Transaction (Mermaid)
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
  participant C as Client
  participant O as Order API
  participant P as Payment
  participant I as Inventory
  participant K as Kafka
  C->>O: POST /orders
  O->>I: Reserve stock
  I-->>O: OK (reservation_id)
  O->>P: Charge card
  P-->>O: success
  O->>K: publish OrderCreated
  O-->>C: 201 Created
  Note over K: Async fanout to Shipping, Email, Analytics
```

### Data Flow Diagram (D2)
```d2
direction: right
customer: Customer { shape: person }
api: Order API
db: Postgres { shape: cylinder }
queue: Kafka { shape: queue }
analytics: Analytics WH { shape: cylinder }

customer -> api: POST /order
api -> db: INSERT
api -> queue: OrderCreated
queue -> analytics: stream
```

### Deployment (PlantUML)
```plantuml
@startuml
!include <C4/C4_Deployment>
Deployment_Node(aws, "AWS us-east-1") {
  Deployment_Node(eks, "EKS cluster") {
    Container(api, "Order API", "Node.js")
  }
  Deployment_Node(rds, "RDS Multi-AZ") {
    ContainerDb(db, "Postgres 16")
  }
}
Rel(api, db, "TLS")
@enduml
```

### Trust Boundary (Threat Model overlay)
```mermaid
flowchart LR
  subgraph Public[Public Internet]
    U[User]
  end
  subgraph DMZ
    LB[ALB / WAF]
  end
  subgraph Private[Private VPC]
    API[Order API]
    DB[(Postgres)]
  end
  U -- TLS 1.3 --> LB
  LB -- mTLS --> API
  API --> DB
  classDef boundary stroke-dasharray: 5 5
  class Public,DMZ,Private boundary
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| Quick wiki diagram | Mermaid (GitHub renders inline) |
| Versioned + reviewed | Structurizr DSL or PlantUML in repo |
| Enterprise governance | ArchiMate (Archi tool) |
| Generated from code | terraform-graph, kroki, arkade |
| Threat modeling | DFD + trust boundaries (Microsoft TMT) |

**기본값**: 매 C4 model — Context + Container 의 minimum, diagrams-as-code 의 (Mermaid / Structurizr).

## 🔗 Graph
- 부모: [[Software-Architecture]]
- 변형: [[C4 Model (Architecture Documentation)]]
- 응용: [[Mermaid]] · [[Structurizr]] · [[PlantUML]] · [[D2]]
- Adjacent: [[ADR]] · [[Threat-Modeling]]

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: diagram 의 Mermaid/D2 source 의 generate, existing diagram 의 explanation, missing actor 의 detect.
**언제 X**: 매 enterprise architecture 의 governance decision (human + tool standard 필요).

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **PowerPoint architecture**: PNG screenshot 의 stale, source 의 X.
- **Box-and-line soup**: 매 label 없이 arrow 의 multitude.
- **Mixing levels**: Context 의 component-level detail 의 cram.
- **No legend**: 매 reader 의 notation 의 guess.
- **Aspirational diagram**: actual deployment 의 mismatch — 매 onboarding 의 misleading.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (Brown "Software Architecture for Developers", c4model.com, ArchiMate 3.2 spec).
- 신뢰도 A.
