SCRU128: Sortable, Clock and Random number-based Unique identifier
Project description
SCRU128: Sortable, Clock and Random number-based Unique identifier
SCRU128 ID is yet another attempt to supersede UUID in the use cases that need decentralized, globally unique time-ordered identifiers. SCRU128 is inspired by ULID and KSUID and has the following features:
- 128-bit unsigned integer type
- Sortable by generation time (as integer and as text)
- 26-character case-insensitive portable textual representation
- 44-bit biased millisecond timestamp that ensures remaining life of 550 years
- Up to 268 million time-ordered but unpredictable unique IDs per millisecond
- 84-bit layered randomness for collision resistance
from scru128 import scru128
print(scru128()) # e.g. "00PGHAJ3Q9VAJ7IU6PQBHBUAK4"
print(scru128()) # e.g. "00PGHAJ3Q9VAJ7KU6PQ92NVBTV"
