+## Overview
+
+The [`Service`] trait provides the foundation upon which [Tower] is built. It is a
+simple, but powerful trait. At its heart, `Service` is just an asynchronous
+function of request to response.
+
+```
+async fn(Request) -> Result<Response, Error>
+```
+
+Implementations of `Service` take a request, the type of which varies per
+protocol, and returns a future representing the eventual completion or failure
+of the response.
+
+Services are used to represent both clients and servers. An *instance* of
+`Service` is used through a client; a server *implements* `Service`.
+
+By using standardizing the interface, middleware can be created. Middleware
+*implement* `Service` by passing the request to another `Service`. The
+middleware may take actions such as modify the request.
