Ask HN: How does Stripe manage IDs?

4 pointsby brycelarkinover 2 years ago
I like the way Stripe formats their IDs. It looks like they do identifier, underscore, random string (eg. cus_ja19382 for customers).<p>Does anyone know if they treat the ids as an opaque string or if they break it up and use the identifier portion too?<p>Wouldn’t it impact database performance if all your ids for a table start with “cus_”?
