2025.09.10·info.notion.so·Sponsor·TLDR UUIDv4 is simply a random number in a 122bit spectrum.

This means that consecutive generations of UUIDv7s will sort one after the other. This solves the index issue and makes it possible to know the insert time of a row from within the primary key, which helps with debugging.
