Bit shifting blew my mind
It doesn't come up very often. There is an id generation library I use github.com/bwmarrin/snowflake that makes pretty good use of bit shifting. Each id is split into 3 parts, a timestamp, a node id, and a sequence number. The idea is that each server has a node id. Each node can make 4096 ids every millisecond for about 70 years. It works by doing the following

Looking for some feedback on ingesting data into Snowflake via Go using Benthos
The gosnowflake client library has some limitations related to binding parameters for bulk insert queries, so I ended up going down the PUT query + Snowpipe call route to implement this output in Benthos. I'm curious if anyone would find it useful to have an additional snowflake_insert output which does work in certain cases, as described in the GitHub issue I linked above.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing snowflake and gosnowflake you can also consider the following projects:
go-snowflake - ❄ An Lock Free ID Generator for Golang based on Snowflake Algorithm (Twitter announced).
squashfs - A library to interact with Squashfs archives. Currently only has support for reading, but writing archives will probably come eventually.
Monoton - Highly scalable, single/multi node, sortable, predictable and incremental unique id generator with zero allocation magic on the sequential generation
roaring - Roaring bitmaps in Go (golang), used by InfluxDB, Bleve, DataDog
traefik - The Cloud Native Application Proxy
terraform-provider-snowflake - Terraform provider for managing Snowflake accounts
