Incorporation of a trace visualization with a traffic graph visualization in a service mesh is disclosed. Traffic graph information that identifies a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges is accessed. Each node corresponds to a particular service of a plurality of interrelated services, each service being configured to receive and/or send a message to at least one other service, each edge representing a path that at least one message has taken between two services. First trace information that identifies a first set of services that were invoked during a same first transaction is accessed. Each service in the first set of services is correlated with a corresponding node of the plurality of nodes. A traffic graph visualization and a first transaction trace visualization are presented concurrently on a display device.
