UUID vs ULID vs Integer IDs: A Technical Guide for Modern Systems
Unique identifiers are critical components in software systems, serving as the foundation for data management, distributed architectures, and secure API design. While UUIDs (specifically UUIDv4) and integer IDs have been widely adopted, ULIDs (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifiers) are increasingly recognized as a superior choice for modern applications. This article explores the technical distinctions between these identifiers, focusing on performance in .NET ecosystems a...
An Introduction to ULIDs: A Modern Identifier for Software Systems
In the world of software development, identifiers are a cornerstone of data storage and retrieval. Whether you are designing a database, an API, or a distributed system, choosing the right identifier scheme is critical to ensuring performance, scalability, and reliability. Two widely used options are auto-incrementing integers and UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers). While each has its strengths, they also come with significant trade-offs. ULIDs (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortab...
