Hmm, going to say a hard no on naively preferring UUIDs. It's a little bit of extra work to go with the instagram style approach [0] of using many logical postgres shards with a custom id function that implements twitter snowflake style IDs, but it's an elegant, scalable and operationally simple solution. I am very fond of it. [0] http://rob.conery.io/2014/05/29/a-better-id-generator-for-postgresql/ http://rob.conery.io/2014/05/29/a-better-id-generator-for-po...
