How many clients requests do you get in the same millisecond? With UUIDv7 it's split into: - 48 bits: Unix timestamp in milliseconds - 12 bis: Sub-millisecon

How many clients requests do you get in the same millisecond?
With UUIDv7 it's split into:
- 48 bits: Unix timestamp in milliseconds
- 12 bis: Sub-millisecond timestamp fraction for additional ordering
- 62 bits: Random data for uniqueness
- 6 bits: Version and variant identifiers
So >4,600,000,000,000,000,000 IDs per fraction of a millisecond.
And unprecise time on the client doesn't matter, because some are ahead and some behind, vut that doesn't make them more likely to clash.
- cenamus 1y agoDoes that factor in the birthday paradox?
