Generate UUIDs and ULIDs for Unique Identifiers

Create random UUIDs (v4) or time‑sortable ULIDs for database keys, test data, and distributed systems. ULIDs are lexicographically sortable, which helps with indexing and logs.

Choosing an ID Type

  • UUID v4: Simple, widely supported, good general default.
  • ULID: Sorts by time, base32 output, friendly for logs and URLs.

Guidance

  • Avoid guessable identifiers for sensitive resources.
  • Let databases generate IDs when possible to avoid collisions.

Frequently asked questions

Are ULIDs unique enough?

Yes for typical app use. They combine time with randomness to reduce collisions.

When should I prefer UUIDs?

Use UUIDs when standards or libraries expect them explicitly.
