namespaces

uuid

Generate UUID strings, random (v4) or time-ordered (v7).

The uuid namespace generates UUID strings for identifiers, idempotency keys, and correlation ids.

When to use

Use uuid.v7 when you want time-ordered ids that sort and index well, and uuid.v4 when you want a purely random id.
