# Hybrid and Multi-Mesh Deployments

## Simple Deployment Model

In the simple deployment model, there is a single point of ingress between the Client and the Grey Matter Edge. The Edge routes traffic to appropriate Grey Matter Sidecars.

## Multi-Mesh Deployment Model

The multi-mesh deployment model extends the simple deployment model by allowing each mesh egress to communicate with another mesh ingress using mTLS, as shown below.
