Towards a Reference Dataset of Microservice-Based Applications.

The microservice-based architectural style is rising fast in enterprise IT. Tools and solutions for supporting microservices-based applications are proliferating. It is however often difficult to qualitatively/quantitatively assess and compare such tools and solutions, also because of the lack of reference datasets of microservice-based applications. The objective of this paper is precisely to set the ground of a first reference dataset of microservice-based applications.
