ULIDs are often chosen when teams want globally unique IDs with better chronological sort behavior than random UUID variants.
This page targets utility intent: generate IDs quickly, evaluate ordering behavior, and compare against existing UUID-based patterns.
Benchmark insert and index behavior in your own datastore before adopting ULID as a default key strategy.
ULIDs are 128-bit compatible with UUIDs but are lexicographically sortable. They offer millisecond precision timestamps and 80 bits of randomness per millisecond.
