ulid

• Nanosecond timestamp collisions are common
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Jul 2023

  Our Go ULID package has millisecond precision + monotonic random bytes for disambiguation while preserving ordering within the same millisecond. https://github.com/oklog/ulid

• Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs

  There is no "tests".

  There is just a single test. Which only tests the decoding of a single known value. No encoding test.

  Go has infrastructure for benchmarking and fuzzing. Use it!

  Also, you took code from https://github.com/oklog/ulid/blob/main/ulid.go which has "Copyright 2016 The Oklog Authors" but this is not mentionned in your base32.go.

  maybe because of dependencies: https://github.com/oklog/ulid/blob/main/go.mod ??

• Is it bad to use short (20 chars) random strings as primary keys?
  3 projects | /r/golang | 27 Jun 2022

  I'm not concerned too much about the performance or the storage size at this stage. I've checked ulids before posting (more specifically https://github.com/oklog/ulid) but the only difference than a random string (especially if you use them with math.rand) is the timestamp prefix which makes them sortable, but I don't need that (users could use the internal SQLite rowid if they needed to sort by a primary key).

• UUIDs Are Popular, but Bad for Performance

  why are you using https://github.com/oklog/ulid to generate a cookie secret?

• What are your favorite packages to use?
  55 projects | /r/golang | 15 Aug 2021

  oklog/ulid to generate IDs. coreos/go-oidc for validating JWTs I get from auth. google/go-cmp for comparing structs in tests (unless the project is already using Testify). spf13/pflag because life's too short for Go's flag handling. getkin/kin-openapi for validating reqests/responses against my OpenAPI spec (in tests).

  If you just want to roll with an off-the-shelf library, you can use ULID. There are tons of custom made *flake alternatives. If ULID doesn't fit your purposes, look for others.
