My Notes on Gitlab's Postgres Schema Design (2022)
The point about the storage size of UUID columns is unconvincing. 128 bits vs. 64 bits doesn't matter much when the table has five other columns.
A much more salient concern for me is performance. UUIDv4 is widely supported but is completely random, which is not ideal for index performance. UUIDv7[0] is closer to Snowflake[1] and has some temporal locality but is less widely implemented.
There's an orthogonal approach which is using bigserial and encrypting the keys: https://github.com/abevoelker/gfc64
But this means 1) you can't rotate the secret and 2) if it's ever leaked everyone can now Fermi-estimate your table sizes.
Having separate public and internal IDs seems both tedious and sacrifices performance (if the public-facing ID is a UUIDv4).
I think UUIDv7 is the solution that checks the most boxes.

Sqids – Generate Short Unique IDs from Numbers
I've been too lazy to do a writeup about it but I wrote a Ruby gem to address this problem of hiding sequential primary keys that uses a Feistel network to effectively shuffle int64 IDs: https://github.com/abevoelker/gfc64
So instead of
