Show HN: pg_idkit, a Postgres extension for generating exotic UUIDs
Hey HN,
It turns out choosing a good database-optimized UUID (and deciding whether to use serial, etc) isn't quite so simple, and I finally got a chance to do some exploration, write about it[0].
One of the reasons Postgres is the best open source database out there is it's extensibility -- so I hacked up a small extension for generating some of the more exotic (but crucially, lexicograhically sortable) UUID generation mechanisms:
https://github.com/t3hmrman/pg_idkit
This idea has been bumbling around my head for a while, but I finally got a chance to build it while working with Supabase on a post about IDs[0]!
Most of the heavy lifting is done by pgx[1] which is an amazing framework for building Postgres extensions in Rust. I think we are very early to the trend of amazing postgres extensions built in Rust, and it's yet another reason that it's an exciting time to be all-in on Postgres.

pgx is awesome: introducing pg_idkit
Using pgx made it dead simple for me to write pg_idkit which is an extension that makes some more exotic UUID generation strategies (Timeflake, CUID, UUIDv6-8, etc) available to Postgres instances. It's still a WIP but I don't think I would have been able to get started so quickly without it (and the DX is awesome).

Choosing a Postgres Primary Key
This article comes with a complementary postgres extension which we wrote to benchmark various UUIDs: https://github.com/t3hmrman/pg_idkit
In case you don't read the article, my favourite idea is using the `ksuid` type as both an ID and a *created_at* field:
> One interesting feature would be using at least partially time-based UUIDs for created_at columns -- we could save space by virtualizing our created_at columns:
