What a UUID v4 is
A UUID is a 128-bit unique identifier. UUID v4 is randomly generated, making it useful for apps, databases, and distributed systems where you need IDs without coordination.
When to use UUIDs
Use UUIDs for public identifiers, request IDs, correlation IDs in logs, test data, and records that must be unique across services.
Best practices
UUID v4 is not sequential, so it may not be ideal for every database index. If you need time ordering, consider alternatives like ULID or UUIDv7 depending on your stack.
