FAQ

How is a ULID different from UUID v4?

A ULID starts with timestamp data and is lexicographically sortable. UUID v4 values are intentionally unordered.

Can I use it as a globally unique primary key?

ULIDs provide high-entropy identifiers, but critical systems should still enforce uniqueness at the data layer.
