SQL LRS vs Veracity Learning

SQL LRS is a self-hosted Learning Record Store for xAPI statements, attachments, and documents. It supports SQLite, Postgres, MariaDB, and MySQL. Built-in conditional logic can evaluate incoming activity and create internal xAPI statements for validated outcomes. Its SQL data can connect to tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Looker, Apache Superset, and AI stacks that work with structured databases. Authentication options include OpenID and API credentials with keys, secrets, and scopes. The software is available through GitHub, DockerHub, and Platform One’s Iron Bank, but customers host it themselves. It is free under the Apache 2.0 license and may be used in commercial projects; implementation and support services are quoted separately. The maker says it conforms to IEEE 9274.1.1 and that Iron Bank containers have Certification to Field for Platform One IL2 and IL4 environments. SQL LRS is an LRS, not an LMS or content store: it does not produce learning data or host learning content. Described uses include collecting activity from LMS, AR/VR/XR, and simulation systems and exchanging learning data with business and AI systems.

Veracity Learning is a learning and performance data platform built around the Experience API (xAPI) standard. Its Learning Record Store stores and retrieves xAPI statements, including signatures, binary attachments, and document stores. Analytics include default and custom dashboards, a chart builder, graph query tools, and support for common xAPI profiles. Data can be imported or exported as CSV, JSON, or URL-based data dumps, and statements can be forwarded between LRSs. The product provides an advanced search API, Veracity Query Language, and an LRS API for managing learners, lessons, and other data objects or launching content. Separate LRS instances do not share keys, analytics, or databases. Customers can use cloud-hosted SaaS in a browser or install the product on their own network; the SaaS option uses AWS by default. Veracity Lite is a free download with fewer features. Starter is listed at $100 a month, with 5 LRSs, 1GB storage, 100K–1M xAPI statements, and 25K daily API calls. The Learner Portal is a content player, not an LMS.
