If you do consider a GUID, I recommend the TypeID library we recently open-sourced. It has typing as part of the id, and it's based on UUIDv7. We think it has a few benefits over other GUIDs, including: + Easier to debug because of the type information + Type-safety can be enforced + Thanks to UUIDv7 is has good locality properties when used as the primary key of a database (unlike a completely random GUID) + We have a dotnet implementation in C# available
