Distributed System IDs

Read Original

This article explores various distributed system identifier types like integers, UUIDs, KSUIDs, and URNs. It discusses the tradeoffs of each approach and delves into the philosophical debate between transparent identifiers (like URNs) that carry semantic meaning and opaque identifiers that act as black boxes, particularly in the context of service-oriented architectures.
