- Client request
A client begins a request to an application. Its identity, destination and protocol requirements establish the starting context.
- Routing & transport
Routing selects a path. Transport and TLS establish the connection; path selection alone does not establish application trust.
- Security policy
The agreed security controls evaluate the request. Policy ownership and failure behaviour should be explicit.
- Application service
The application handles the request using its own authorisation and dependency controls.
- Measurement & operations
Operators observe the agreed health signals, investigate failures and maintain the recovery process. Coverage determines what those signals can establish.
