Are there really any performances benefits of UUIDv7 over UUIDv4 that should ever come up in the context of an HR system? Just how many job applicants are you tracking?

I don't understand why you considered UUIDv7 in the first place.



You can sort records by ID, retrieve the last N records by ID, etc. It's just easier than using a timestamp.


The guaranteed lack of collision is a big one. I pretty much always add an updated column, and sqlalchemy essentially gives you both for free.
