Move the route proxy into its module and run it from the trust image, on mesh-sdk's public membership (issues 1633, 1634, 1635)
A bundle is built only from its module's directory (ADR 0480 clause 4), so the proxy leaves
examples/ and the controller's internal/broker; the broker keeps no second copy of what the
proxy shares with mesh-sdk. The image and its Dockerfile go, and a test holds that only
build-agent declares one (clause 11).

NUID

License Apache 2 ReportCard Build Status Release GoDoc Coverage Status

A highly performant unique identifier generator.

Installation

Use the go command:

$ go get github.com/nats-io/nuid

Basic Usage


// Utilize the global locked instance
nuid := nuid.Next()

// Create an instance, these are not locked.
n := nuid.New()
nuid = n.Next()

// Generate a new crypto/rand seeded prefix.
// Generally not needed, happens automatically.
n.RandomizePrefix()

Performance

NUID needs to be very fast to generate and be truly unique, all while being entropy pool friendly. NUID uses 12 bytes of crypto generated data (entropy draining), and 10 bytes of pseudo-random sequential data that increments with a pseudo-random increment.

Total length of a NUID string is 22 bytes of base 62 ascii text, so 62^22 or 2707803647802660400290261537185326956544 possibilities.

NUID can generate identifiers as fast as 60ns, or ~16 million per second. There is an associated benchmark you can use to test performance on your own hardware.
