Why use a ULID?
ULIDs combine a timestamp with randomness in a compact 26-character representation. Their text order follows creation time, which can help with database indexes and logs.

Timestamp privacy
A ULID exposes its creation time. Use a fully random identifier when revealing approximate creation time would be undesirable.
