FAQs

What is a UUID?

A Universally Unique Identifier is a 128-bit label like 3f6a8c1e-9b2d-4f5a-8c7d-1e2a3b4c5d6e, commonly used as database keys, request IDs and filenames where collisions must be practically impossible.

What does "version 4" mean?

Version 4 UUIDs are generated from random numbers (122 random bits), unlike version 1 which embeds a timestamp and MAC address. They're the most common choice for general use.

Can two UUIDs collide?

In theory yes, in practice no β€” with 122 random bits you'd need to generate billions per second for a century before a collision becomes likely.
