The Easiest Way to Create a REST API With Go
The goal of babyapi is to be so easy that a baby could do it. As previously mentioned, babyapi.DefaultResource already implements the required interface, so it can be used as a starting point for simple resource types. Besides simply implementing the interface, this default struct implements some validations around the ID and uses rs/xid to create a unique identifer on new resources.

Build a Job Queue with Rust Using Aide-De-Camp (Part 2)
To schedule a job, all we need to do is serialize the payload, create a new JID (we use XID for JIDs), and insert both into the adc_queue table.

How we used Go 1.18 when designing our Identifiers
XID's are 96 bits. The first 32 bits are the time, which means we get our k-sorting immediately. The next 40 bits are a machine identifier and a process identifier. However, unlike the other systems, these are calculated automatically using the library and don't require us to configure anything ourselves. The final 24 bits are a sequence number, which allows a single process to generate 16,777,216 identifiers per second!

You Don't Need UUID
I've had success using xid for user-visible IDs. What's nice is they're shorter than UUID, will sort in order, hides the amount of rows in the table.
