 We can "upgrade" a model service to a HTTP service using `FromRequest` and `IntoResponse` described in the prior section:

 The upgrade procedure is finalized by the application of the `Layer` `L`, referenced in `Operation<S, L>`. In this way the entire upgrade procedure takes an `Operation<S, L>` and returns a HTTP service.

 The `RouterService` is the final piece necessary to form a functioning composition - it is used to aggregate together the HTTP services, created via the upgrade procedure, into a single HTTP service which can be presented to the customer.
