snowflake-rs

A simple to use rust package to generate or parse Twitter snowflake IDs,generate time sortable 64 bits unique ids for distributed systems (inspired from twitter snowflake)

A distributed unique ID generator inspired by Twitter's Snowflake.

This is a Rust implementation of the original houseme/snowflake, which is written in Go.

A Snowflake ID is composed of

39 bits for time in units of 10 msec 8 bits for a sequence number 16 bits for a machine id

Install

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
snowflake_me = "0.1"

Quickstart

use snowflake_me::Snowflake;

let sf = Snowflake::new().unwrap();
let next_id = sf.next_id().unwrap();
println!("{}", next_id);

Benchmarks

Run them yourself with cargo bench.

1, Benchmarks were run on a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) with a 2,4GHz i9 and 64 GB memory.
