What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It is timezone-independent and universally understood by programming languages, databases, and APIs. Millisecond timestamps — used in JavaScript's Date.now() — are simply the epoch value multiplied by 1000.

When is it useful?

Reading server logs or API responses that return numeric timestamps
Debugging token expiry fields like exp in a JWT
Setting scheduled tasks or TTL values in a database
Converting timestamps across different timezones
