FAQ & Knowledge

UUID v7 is a time‑ordered unique identifier defined in RFC 9562. It encodes a 48‑bit Unix timestamp (millisecond precision) into the first part of the UUID, followed by random bits. This makes UUID v7 naturally sortable by creation time while preserving global uniqueness.

UUID v4 is fully random and not sortable by time. UUID v7 embeds a timestamp, allowing chronological ordering. v7 is better for databases and logs where insert order matters, while v4 often causes index fragmentation.

Yes. With 74 random bits (plus a 48‑bit timestamp), the collision probability is astronomically low—even when generating thousands per millisecond. The RFC includes recommendations for monotonicity to further reduce collisions.

Yes. Because the leading bits contain the timestamp, sorting UUID v7 values lexicographically (as raw bytes or as hex strings) results in chronological order. This is great for database primary keys where time‑based range queries are common.

It uses a monotonic timestamp approach. If the current timestamp doesn’t increase (or more than one UUID is generated in the same ms), the internal clock advances by 1 ms so that every UUID has a strictly increasing time component, maintaining global sort order.
