I am using a variant of SnowflakeId [^1] in order to have 64 bit keys too. It's similar to UUIDv7 (it leaks the creation time), but it's not an issue for me.

I am using a variant of SnowflakeId [^1] in order to have 64 bit keys too. It's similar to UUIDv7 (it leaks the creation time), but it's not an issue for me.
