Why Modern Distributed Databases Rely on UUID v4

Sequential auto-incrementing database IDs can expose business metrics and cause primary key collisions in distributed microservice architectures.

UUID v4 identifiers are generated independently on client devices or microservices without requiring a central database coordinator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the chances of two duplicate UUID v4 collisions?

The probability of a collision is astronomically small: after generating 1 billion UUIDs per second for 100 years, the probability of a single collision is only about 50%.
