UUIDs for development and test data
A UUID is useful when you need a unique-looking identifier for records, tests, temporary data, examples, or API payloads. It is not a replacement for every database ID strategy, but it is convenient for many development workflows.
Best use cases
- Generate IDs for test records, sample API data, or temporary objects.
- Avoid collisions in mock data, documentation, or prototypes.
- Create placeholder identifiers without exposing real customer or production IDs.
Common mistakes
- Assuming a UUID is automatically a secret token.
- Using generated test IDs in places that require sequential database logic.
- Mixing production identifiers with sample data in public docs.
