Azure Integration Services L1 Context Diagram Example

This Azure context diagram is the L1 view of the Azure Integration Services example set. It keeps the same Order-to-Cash business landscape as the BizTalk L1 Context example and replaces the integration hub with Azure Integration Services (Logic Apps, API Management, and Service Bus). Because the surrounding systems stay unchanged, the architectural comparison is effortless.

To try it in Nodinite, copy the C4Context markup below and follow Import Your First C4 Diagram to create a C4 Diagram Set, import the markup, and bind each node to a System in your Repository Model. See C4 Diagrams for the concepts.

Component Type Highlights

  • Integration Service: Azure Integration Services
  • Business Systems: Portal, ERP, ERP-Finance, Warehouse Management System
  • External Parties: Customer, Supplier, Logistics Partner

Import-Friendly Notes

  • Reuses the same system names as BizTalk and Migration sets for better cross-diagram matching.
  • Uses explicit Person_Ext and System macros for cleaner actor/system differentiation.
