I wonder what the benefit of UUIDs over a counter is? A counter would not require a db and still never collide.
Hi author, could you please share more details about the UUID collision, how it occurred in micro service etc..
And please also share why not just use e.g. 256-bit UUIDs instead of v4 128-bit if collisions really are a problem with 128-bit (which i find hard to belive).
this is a joke right?
