Apply LikeC4 Common Patterns
Use this skill when implementing standard architectural patterns.
Pattern: External System Integration
likec4
externalService = System_External 'Third-Party API' {
technology 'REST API'
description 'External payment processor'
#External
}
mySystem.api -[calls]-> externalService 'Process payment'
Pattern: Async Processing
likec4
queue = Container_Queue 'Job Queue' {
technology 'RabbitMQ'
description 'Async job processing'
}
api -[async]-> queue 'Publishes jobs'
worker -[async]-> queue 'Consumes jobs'
Pattern: Multi-Tier Architecture
likec4
webapp = Container_Webapp 'Web App' {
technology 'React'
description 'User interface'
}
api = Container_Api 'API' {
technology 'Node.js'
description 'Business logic'
}
database = Container_Database 'Database' {
technology 'PostgreSQL'
description 'Data persistence'
}
webapp -[calls]-> api 'API requests'
api -[reads]-> database 'Queries'
api -[writes]-> database 'Updates'
