When you say "integer" what are you referring to? I'm _assuming_ 32-bit integers, not 64-bit integers, because ILP-32 is so commonplace.
When you're about to breach the 2^64 in your ID space, please give us a heads-up around 2^63 so we can upgrade our systems. :)

Our status id is fast approaching the maximum unsigned integer value. Based on all of the feedback on scaling I've received from this list I'm assuming everyone will be fine. One thing to check is your table definitions … no amount of interpreted language will save you from that.
