1. A method comprising:
obtaining, by a processing device, topology data characterizing a service mesh comprising a plurality of nodes;
obtaining tracing data associated with events processed by a message broker, wherein the message broker serves as an intermediate agent for a message transmitted from a source node to a destination node, wherein the plurality of nodes comprises the source node and the destination node;
identifying, based on the tracing data, a message flow between the source node and the destination node;
providing, via a graphical user interface (GUI), visualization of the service mesh reflecting the message flow; and
switching between the visualization of the service mesh with the message flow and a visualization of the service mesh with the message broker.
