| Snowflake Identifier                 | Snowflakes are 64 bits in binary. (Only 63 are used to fit in a signed integer.) The first 41 bits are a timestamp, representing milliseconds since the chosen epoch. The next 10 bits represent a machine ID, preventing clashes. Twelve more bits represent a per-machine sequence number, to allow creation of multiple snowflakes in the same millisecond. The final number is generally serialized in decimal.                                                         | <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_ID>                                             |
| Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) | A universally unique identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit number used to identify information in computer systems. The term globally unique identifier (GUID) is also used, typically in software created by Microsoft. When generated according to the standard methods, UUIDs are for practical purposes unique. Their uniqueness does not depend on a central registration authority or coordination between the parties generating them, unlike most other numbering schemes. | <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier>                            |
| Customer User Identifier (CUID)      | Collision-resistant IDs optimized for horizontal scaling and performance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   | <https://support.appsflyer.com/hc/en-us/articles/207032016-Customer-User-ID-field-CUID-> |

## Reduced Package Size

This project uses [tsup](https://tsup.egoist.dev/) to package the source code
due to its ability to remove unused code and ship smaller javascript files
thanks to code splitting. This helps to greatly reduce the size of the package
and to make it easier to use in other projects.

## Development

This project is built using [Nx](https://nx.dev). As a result, many of the usual
commands are available to assist in development.

### Building

Run `nx build unique-identifier` to build the library.

### Running unit tests

Run `nx test unique-identifier` to execute the unit tests via
[Jest](https://jestjs.io).

### Linting

Run `nx lint unique-identifier` to run [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) on the
package.

## Storm Workspaces

Storm workspaces are built using
<a href="https://nx.dev/" target="_blank">Nx</a>, a set of extensible dev tools
for monorepos, which helps you develop like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft.
Building on top of Nx, the Open System provides a set of tools and patterns that
help you scale your monorepo to many teams while keeping the codebase
maintainable.
