I've been making c4 diagrams for like 2 years now and you can use the deployment diagrams to map topology. Don't get it twisted trying to diagram topologically rather than logically. Also, Figuring out what makes the cut as a Container or Component is still rough for me, but the rule of thumb I've been following is. If you can't break it apart anymore, it's a component (without getting into code) and If you can deploy it as a whole thing, its more likely to be a container.

Consider having microphone placed differently to not pick up on so much mouth noises especially when listening on headphones
Popping and breath noise is distracting

The content is great, but please don't drink meanwhile your mic is on. Thanks.

Yes mouth noises are very distracting
