Why it ranks here
Health score explained
Vendure scores 86/100, #14 of 25 in E-commerce: 816 commits in the last 90 days earn 35.0 of 35 points, the latest release (v3.8.1, 7 days ago) earns 25.0 of 25, 8,551 stars add 15.7 of 20, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and no advertised Docker image leaves the final 10 unclaimed. That places it in the good band (70 and above). The biggest shortfall is Docker support, worth 10.0 more points.
