Thank you for this article.

I would like to know if this is more efficient than the TSID. Here is the repo.: https://github.com/vladmihalcea/hypersistence-tsid.

I expect you to comment.

Hi Armel Hyacinthe,
One of the key differences is that the timestamp has a milli-second resolution and isn’t human readable by default. It’s highly likely to be unique with a random element, but not guaranteed.
I will try a benchmark of it for comparison. Thank you for the suggestion.
