  • cuid

    Collision-resistant ids optimized for horizontal scaling and performance.

    • What about something like cuid? https://github.com/ericelliott/cuid

  • spec

    The canonical spec for ulid

    • I am surprised no one talked about ULID. https://github.com/ulid/spec. It is sortable by time which is a good fit for time series data.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
