Abstract
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.

Docker Compose is an engine which permits deploying and managing multi-container Docker applications. Docker Compose permits describing the components of an application by using a compose file (specification file written in YAML). It is possible to find more information at [14].

All compose files and test scripts are available in the GitHub repository of \({\mu }{\textsc {set}}\).
