+Snowflake IDs
+=============
+
+.. versionadded:: 33
+
+Nextcloud integrates a customized version of Snowflake IDs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_ID).
+
+It allows to generates unique IDs in advance and also contains information about creation:
+ - creation time at millisecond precision
+ - identifier of server which created the ID. It's usually a hash of server hostname or random if not hostname found.
+ - whether the ID was created from CLI or not
+
+Store a Snowflake ID in database
+--------------------------------
+
+Snowflake IDs are designed to be used as primary key in database.
+They should be stored as ``UNSIGNED BIGINT`` (64 bits integer, always positive)
+
+In Nextcloud migrations it looks like:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    public function changeSchema(IOutput $output, Closure $schemaClosure, array $options): ?ISchemaWrapper {
+        /** @var ISchemaWrapper $schema */
+        $schema = $schemaClosure();
+
+        if (!$schema->hasTable('my_table')) {
+            $table = $schema->createTable('my_table');
+            $table->addColumn(
+                'id', 
+                Types::BIGINT, 
+                ['notnull' => true, 'unsigned' => true]
+            );
+            $table->setPrimaryKey(['id']);
+
+            // TODO Add other fields
+        }
+
+
+Generate a Snowflake ID
+-----------------------
+
+To generate a new ID, call ``nextId`` function on the generator: 
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    <?php
+    declare(strict_types=1);
+
+    namespace OCA\MyApp;
+
+    use OCP\Snowflake\IGenerator;
+
+    class MyObjectFactory {
+        public function __construct(
+         		private readonly IGenerator $generator,
+        ) {
+          // TODO Add your implementation
+        }
+
+        public function create(): MyObject {
+            /** @var string $id */
+            $id = $this->generator->nextId();
+
+            // TODO Create other properties and insert into database
+        }
+    }
+
+
+Decode a Snowflake ID
+---------------------
+
+IDs can be decoded with ``occ decode-snowflake <id>`` command.
+
+It’s also possible to decode IDs in your code, for example to get creation time of your object:
+
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    <?php
+    declare(strict_types=1);
+
+    namespace OCA\MyApp;
+
+    use DateTimeImmutable
+    use OCP\Snowflake\IDecoder;
+
+    class MyObject {
+        private string $id; 
+
+        public function __construct(
+         		private readonly IDecoder $decoder,
+        ) {
+          // TODO Add your implementation
+        }
+
+        public function createdAt(): DateTimeImmutable {
+            return $this->decoder->decode($this->id)['createdAt'];
+        }
+    }
