Docker compose files to analyze structural patterns of containerized microservice applications

The dataset contains 137 docker-compose files found in publicly available repositories on Github. This dataset was used to analyze the structural patterns of containerized microservice applications to figure out how the structure of microservice applications in benchmarks could be improved to resemble more real world structures.
