Exploring PostgreSQL 18's new UUIDv7 support
People really overthink this. You can safely expose internal IDs by doing a symmetric cipher, like a Feistel cipher. Even sequential IDs will appear random.

Looks easy on the surface, but the problem is key rotation.

I didn't know about this problem but was already thinking it sounds even harder. And the resulting IDs are probably quite large.
