Prototypes

• DockerAnalyser
• DockerAnalyser is a microservice-based prototype that permits searching for images based on multiple attributes.

• DockerFinder
• DockerAanalyser is a microservice‐based architecture for (customisable) analyses of Docker images.

• TosKeriser
• TosKeriser is a tool for automatically completing TOSCA application specifications by automatically discovering docker containers.

• MicroFreshener
• MicroFreshener is a web-based prototype that permits to identify the architectural smells that possibly violate principles of microservices, and to select suitable refactorings to resolve them..
