What is a Unix Timestamp?

A Unix timestamp (also known as Epoch time or POSIX time) is a system for tracking time as a running count of seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC (the Unix epoch). This standardized time format is widely used in programming, databases, and computer systems worldwide.

Unix timestamps are timezone-independent and represent the same moment in time globally. This makes them ideal for storing dates and times in databases, APIs, and applications where timezone conversions might otherwise cause complications.
