# [ARCHIVED] Legal Aid Agency Architecture Documentation

The documentation here uses the [C4 model][c4model] by [Simon Brown][simonbrown].

We use the [FC4 toolset][fc4-toolset] to normalise the source of C4 diagrams authored with [Structurizr Express][se].

## Archived status

As of 2021 this repository is no longer the source of truth.  For the latest information

you should look at the replacement repository, [laa-architecture-as-code](https://github.com/ministryofjustice/laa-architecture-as-code).

As a result of the above, this repository has been archived and marked as read only.
