Crate ksuid

KSUID stands for K-Sortable Unique IDentifier, a globally unique identifier used by Segment.

KSUIDs incorporate a timestamp with 1-second resolution, allowing them to be (roughly) sorted chronologically, as well as a 128-bit random payload in the style of UUIDv4. They can be serialized using a Base62 encoding for compatibility with environments which only support alphanumeric data. The lexicographic ordering of both the binary and string representations preserves the chronological ordering of the embedded timestamp.

See the canonical implementation for more information.
