Universally Unique Identifiers eliminate collision risk in distributed systems without central coordination. The UUID Generator produces RFC 4122-compliant v4 UUIDs in bulk — ready for database primary keys, session tokens, and event correlation IDs.
UUIDv4 is fully random — good for most use cases. UUIDv7 (newer) embeds a timestamp prefix making IDs sortable by creation time, which improves database index performance on insertion-heavy tables.
A 128-bit identifier formatted as 8-4-4-4-12 hexadecimal characters, standardized by RFC 4122 as universally unique.
Collisions are astronomically unlikely — the probability of two random UUIDv4s matching is roughly 1 in 5.3 × 10³⁶.
Use UUIDv7 when insertion order matters for database performance — its timestamp prefix makes IDs sortable by creation time.
