A .NET library that generates 64-bit, roughly time-ordered unique IDs inspired by Twitter's Snowflake. It lets you customize the bit layout of timestamp, generator-id, and sequence parts, but does not provide worker-id coordination services.

Use cases

  • generate unique ids in a distributed .net system
  • snowflake-style id generator for c#
  • low-latency time-ordered id generation
  • generate compact 64-bit unique identifiers
  • uncoordinated id generation across multiple hosts
  • custom bit layout for id generator timestamp and sequence

When to choose

  • you need low-latency, roughly time-ordered unique IDs in a .NET application
  • you can assign unique generator-ids to each host or thread yourself
  • you want a customizable bit structure for timestamp, generator-id, and sequence

When to avoid

  • you need a service that coordinates worker-ids across nodes automatically
  • you need globally coordinated or strictly ordered IDs
  • you are not on the .NET platform
