GitHub is stuffed full of free and open-source development tools, all with no guarantee that they’re stable, up-to-date, or even still maintained! Companies need a way to ensure that the GitHub projects they’re adopting come with a clean bill of health — and for that, they turn to you!

You’re the CTO of GitHub Health, a unique startup that provides reports and analysis of GitHub software projects. But your findings aren’t based on gossip, they’re based on data. In this liveProject, you’ll build a serverless data system that can extract meaningful data from GitHub, store it in a database, and display the statistics using Google Cloud. Once you’re done, you’ll generate a report for a new client on which of three open-source projects is the best choice for its new DevOps team.
