Snowflake
distributed unique ID generator inspired by Twitter's Snowflake with custom bit assignments:
39 bits for time in units of 10 milliseconds(since 2020-01-01 00:00:00 UTC by default), can hold around 174 yrs of time
16 bits for a node ID
9 bits for a sequence number
snowflake
provide an out of box default settings for usage on public cloud and containers(such as AWS, Azure) by using
the lowest 16 bits of the private ip address as node ID.
NOTE: please don't run multiple instance in same machine/container with the default generator
