What is a Unix Timestamp?

A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time or POSIX time) represents the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC (the Unix epoch). It is the standard way to represent time in most programming languages, databases, and operating systems. Timestamps are timezone-independent, making them ideal for storing dates in distributed systems. JavaScript uses millisecond timestamps (seconds ร— 1000), while most Unix systems and APIs use seconds.
