UUID

Universally Unique Identifier

A standard identifier with a very low risk of collision, typically written as a string with hyphens. Useful in distributed systems and public resource addresses.

Why it matters

Provides identifiers that reveal nothing and never collide — they can be generated simultaneously in multiple locations and safely exposed in URLs.

What's missing without it

Sequential numbers (1, 2, 3…) reveal database scale and allow guessing other records by changing the digit in the address.

When it is used

In public resource addresses, tokens, and anywhere records are created in parallel across multiple systems.

How we use it

CMS assigns UUIDs to audio generation tasks to track them without exposing sequential numbers.
