As shown in Figure 9.1, “Veracity Architecture”, Veracity’s architecture hides all the details of repository storage behind an API. The 1.0 release of Veracity includes a storage implementation called FS3. By swapping this module for another plugin, it is possible to store a repository instance in another form, such as a SQL database, for example.

The various instances of the same repository can each use their own storage scheme. For example, a team might decide to use FS3 on all the developer desktops while using an enterprise SQL database on a central server.
