base63? I'd guess you'd mean base64?

Anyways, doesn't that fuck with performance?

I'm using this in production: RT.Comb - That still generates GUIDs, but generates them sequential over time. Gives you both the benefits of sequential ids, and also the benefits of sequential keys. I haven't had any issues or collisions with that

It's Base62 actually, misremembered that. It's to avoid some special characters iirc. And no, performance is fine.
