Why Choose ULIDs over Traditional UUIDs or IDs for Database Identification?
Exploring ULIDs: A Superior Alternative for Enhanced Database Security and Efficiency
Not only are they in chronological order and visible with just an inspect on the network of dev tools, but also finding vulnerabilities and reverse-engineering your web app can be 10 times easier. Their compatibility with UUID standards, coupled with features like time-based generation and global uniqueness, make ULIDs particularly suitable for distributed systems where sorting and scalability are crucial. While the implementation may be slightly more complex than basic IDs, the long-term benefits in terms of system performance and maintainability can justify the initial effort.
