Pretty useful article! I'm pretty sure I've seen data shifting happen a few times on Jerboa.

I wonder if uuid7 based pagination solves these issues. Precise enough that you don't overlap/over fetch data with time based pagination, while still being essentially time based so you have a consistent offset. Definitely important to limit the size if requests, though.

Probably not; I'd expect the places where you need something like UUIDv7 (large, eventually-consistent systems) to not be entirely suitable because you can have records added out of sequence. You'd have to add a received-at field - but in that case you may as well just use a standard incrementing ID as your primary key.
