Introduction to Chaos Engineering
In 2010 Netflix developed a tool called "Chaos Monkey", whose goal was to randomly take down compute services (such as virtual machines or containers), part of the Netflix production environment, and test the impact on the overall Netflix service experience. In 2011 Netflix released a toolset called "The Simian Army", which added more capabilities to the Chaos Monkey, from reliability, security, and resiliency (i.e., Chaos Kong which simulates an entire AWS region going down). In 2012, Chaos Monkey became an open-source project (under Apache 2.0 license). In 2016, a company called Gremlin released the first "Failure-as-a-Service" platform. In 2017, the LitmusChaos project was announced, which provides chaos jobs in Kubernetes. In 2019, Alibaba Cloud announced ChaosBlade, an open-source Chaos Engineering tool. In 2020, Chaos Mesh 1.0 was announced as generally available, an open-source cloud-native chaos engineering platform. In 2021, AWS announced the general availability of AWS Fault Injection Simulator, a fully managed service to run controlled experiments.

It’s kinda like Chaos Monkey except Elon is the chaos

This perfect plan is based on a rather childish assumption that no one will fight back
they really did lmao

Thanks, that was an interesting read. Chaos Monkey

Zero Downtime Postgres Upgrades
OP here - we avoid sequences in all but one part of our application due to a dependency. We use [KSUIDs][1] and UUID v4 in various places. This one "gotcha" applies to any sequence, so it's worth calling out as general advice when running a migration like this.

Bye Sequence, Hello UUIDv7
UUID v4 isn't large enough to prevent collisions, that is why segment.io created https://github.com/segmentio/ksuid which is 160bit vs the 128bit of a UUIDv4.

Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs
Assuming you don't need to use UUIDv7 (or any UUID's) then https://github.com/segmentio/ksuid provides a much bigger keyspace. You could just append a string prefix if you wanted to namespace, but the chance of collisions of a KSUID is many times smaller than a UUID of any version.

Unexpected downsides of UUID keys in PostgreSQL
KSUID's are have temporal-lexicographical order plus 128 bits of entropy, which is more than UUIDv4.

UUIDs are so much better than autoincrementing ids and it's not even close
That's why you use ksuid (https://segment.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-the-uuid/) or, if you're willing to go with a draft spec you could go with the new UUID formats https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-uuidrev-rfc4122bi...

What Happened to UUIDv2?
Interesting in more history of UUIDs? Twilio Segment's blog has an amazing history lesson about how they came to be.

Which UUID package do you use? and why?
I use the ksuid from segment. https://github.com/segmentio/ksuid
