id-generators-preserve-monotonic-order

Status: IN

Stateful ID generators maintain monotonic ordering within their time granularity through distinct sub-millisecond strategies: Snowflake uses a bounded sequence counter (4096/ms), ULID increments the random component, and the stock exchange uses a global counter — all thread-safe via locks to prevent ID collision under concurrency.

Justifications

Three generators use different monotonicity mechanisms; all share thread-safety via locks — a cross-system pattern of ordered-ID-generation-under-concurrency

Depends on (SL): snowflake-sequence-max-4096-per-ms, ulid-monotonic-within-millisecond, stock-exchange-trade-counter-global, all-stateful-generators-thread-safe
