We demonstrate the capabilities of the Microservice Artefact Observatory (MAO), a federated software quality assessment middleware. MAO´s extensible assessment tools continuously scan for quality flaws, defects and inconsistencies in microservice artefacts and observe runtime behaviour. The federation reduces bias and also increases the resilience and overcomes per-site failures, leading to a single, merged timeline of software quality. Already running concurrently with n = 3 in Argentina and Switzerland, the federation is designed to become a community-wide consensus voting-based ground truth repository with query interfaces for large-scale software quality and evolution insights. These insights can be exploited for excluding buggy software before or after deployment, for optimised resource allocation, and further software management tasks.
