Next.js and Bunny CDN: Complete Guide to Image Uploading with Server Actions
Last thing left is to use our new upload function in our server action. Since I like to upload images in single format and have some more control over them, I will additionally use sharp library. For file name, I'll generate some random string using nanoid:

Why we chose Bun
Our API is in node. And God, how I suffered to import nanoid in an esmodule project. I had to vendor it, since using a previous version was not ideal. With bun, we can no longer worry about that. Just import what you need and done.

Building a File Storage With Next.js, PostgreSQL, and Minio S3
Generate a unique file name using the nanoid library.

Building a Multi-Tenant App with FastAPI, SQLModel, and PropelAuth
The syntax should read similar to SQL itself. We’re using a Python port of nanoid to generate our IDs. There’s only one thing missing… how do we actually create the table?

Analyzing New Unique Identifier Formats (UUIDv6, UUIDv7, and UUIDv8) (2022)
In another comment I mentioned I use nanoid in my projects now. It has a default space of 64^21 and has an a page where you can play with key lengths and alphabet sizes and see the probability of collisions :
https://zelark.github.io/nano-id-cc/
At the default 64 character alphabet with a 21 character key length it would take ~41 million years in order to have a 1% probability of at least one collision if you generated 1000 ids per second.

How I use Nano ID in Rails
Using randomly generated IDs like Nano ID could be a good alternative, however, as a developer, we must understand what Nano ID really does in our application. Defining the number of characters in the generated IDs is also important, to help with that Nano ID has a Collision Calculator to give us how many years in order to have a 1% probability of collision.
What are some alternatives?

snowflake - Snowflake is a network service for generating unique ID numbers at high scale with some simple guarantees.
underscore.string - String manipulation helpers for javascript
