I can’t find consistent examples (at least in words). Just snippets of information.

Answer 1

take the record id/etc and convert it from a decimal system to a system with a higher base/alphabet.
usually base62 or base64 is used (replacing +/ with -_ for use in url).
or use libraries like hashids, which will additionally give randomization.
when requesting such a link, we convert again to a decimal id and get the desired content.
