Using ULID has probably the best ROI among all the architectural decisions I've made. Generating IDs on the server before insert is helpful, and not just for distributed system issues. Issues to think about before you switch: - The ID includes the timestamp of it's creation. If you don't want to leak it, you should use another identifier along with it. (I've never needed this in my use cases) - You won't be able to see the ID in its common representation format if you are using a database GUI. (I'm using Postico 2 for postgresql and the developer was kind enough to add "display as Crockford Base 32" to bytea columns making this a non-issue for me. UUIDv7 will also fix this.)
