are IDs random & unique?

@Mikael Lirbank writes: Are the generated DB IDs unique and random (are they unpredictable), or just unique? Eg. are they safe to use as access tokens, or should I generate my own and store them in another field?

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
