This repo contains a maintainability benchmark of open source Microservices based on expert ratings. You will find three things in here:

• A rating scheme with all relevant properties
• A guide explaining how to use the rating scheme
• A one-pager for each system that should be analyzed

1. Carefully read the rating guide, then download and examine the rating scheme.
2. While keeping the schema in mind, analyze each system.
   • Read the one-pager of the system.
   • Navigate to the GitHub repository of the system and analyze its contents. You can also download the repo to your machine to ease browsing.
   • Create a preliminary rating for the system based on your analysis. Provide comments for your rationale, if appropriate.
3. After analyzing all systems, refine the preliminary ratings based on your newly-gained insights.
4. Fill in the demographic data in the second tab of the rating scheme.
5. Send the filled out rating scheme back to us via email.
