NetEvolve.Http.Correlation.Ulid

Nuget

ULID-based implementation of IHttpCorrelationIdProvider for sortable, time-based correlation IDs.

Overview

This package provides a ULID (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier) implementation for generating correlation IDs. ULIDs combine the benefits of UUIDs with the lexicographic sortability of timestamps, making them ideal for distributed systems.

Key Features

  • Time-Based Sorting: ULIDs are lexicographically sortable by creation time
  • High Entropy: 128-bit identifiers with 80 bits of randomness
  • URL-Safe: Base32-encoded string representation
  • Efficient: Faster generation and comparison than GUIDs
  • Multi-Framework Support: Compatible with .NET 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0

Installation

dotnet add package NetEvolve.Http.Correlation.Ulid

Usage

Basic Setup

Configure services to use ULID-based correlation IDs in your Program.cs:

using NetEvolve.Http.Correlation;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Register correlation services with ULID provider
builder.Services
    .AddHttpCorrelation()
    .WithUlidGenerator(); // Use ULID provider, instead of default behavior.

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseHttpCorrelation();
app.Run();

With HTTP Client

Combine with HTTP client correlation forwarding:

builder.Services
    .AddHttpCorrelation()
    .WithUlidGenerator(); // Use ULID provider, instead of default behavior.

builder.Services
    .AddHttpClient("MyApiClient")
    .WithHttpCorrelation();

ULID Format

ULIDs are 26-character case-insensitive strings:

01ARZ3NDEKTSV4RRFFQ69G5FAV

Structure:

  • 10 characters: Timestamp (milliseconds since Unix epoch)
  • 16 characters: Random component

Benefits

  • Temporal Ordering: Natural sorting by creation time
  • Shorter Representation: 26 characters vs 36 for standard GUIDs
  • Better Database Performance: More efficient indexing
  • No Coordination Required: Distributed generation without collisions
