> Extended semantic context file for AI systems, answer engines, and LLM retrieval.

Uxxu is a collaborative software architecture platform designed around the C4 model.

The platform helps software architects, developers, DevOps teams, and engineering organizations design, understand, and evolve complex systems.

Unlike traditional static diagram tools, Uxxu creates a living architecture model where systems, containers, components, and infrastructure layers are interconnected.

Key capabilities include:

- context diagrams
- container diagrams
- component diagrams
- deployment diagrams
- linked drill-down architecture navigation
- dependency intelligence
- complexity analysis
- risk detection
- single point of failure visibility
- real-time collaboration
- project organization
- subprojects
- technology lifecycle tracking
- architecture metrics

## What Uxxu Does

Uxxu enables teams to:

- document software systems
- visualize dependencies
- track system boundaries
- understand service communication
- model data flow
- maintain architecture documentation
- improve onboarding
- reduce documentation drift

## Supported Diagram Models

### Context Diagrams
High-level view of the system and its external actors.

### Container Diagrams
Applications, services, APIs, databases, and major internal boundaries.

### Component Diagrams
Internal modules, code boundaries, workflows, and business logic decomposition.

### Deployment Diagrams
Infrastructure, cloud services, servers, runtime topology, and production systems.

## Best Use Cases

- enterprise architecture
- system modernization
- cloud migration planning
- onboarding documentation
- service dependency mapping
- microservices design
- software complexity analysis
- technical debt visibility
- system risk analysis
