A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier that is unique across space and time. UUIDs are commonly used in databases, distributed systems, and APIs.
UUID versions
- •UUID v4 — Random. Most commonly used, great for general purposes
- •UUID v7 — Time-ordered. Sortable by creation time, ideal for database keys
Alternatives
- •ULID — 26 characters, case-insensitive, sortable
- •NanoID — 21 characters, URL-safe, compact
When to use each type
- •UUID v4 — General purpose, maximum compatibility
- •UUID v7 — Database primary keys, when time-ordering matters
- •ULID — When you need sortability and case-insensitivity
- •NanoID — URLs, user-facing IDs, when space is limited
