I've seen similar, buried deep within a major SV tech co. Their process was a bit more complex because the master list of in-use UUIDs was stored in an external CMDB service run by a different department. They got a daily dump of that db, so were able to check that when generating a "provisional" id. Only once it had been properly submitted to the CMDB did it became "confirmed". They had guardrails in place to prevent "provisional" ids being used in production, and a process for recycling unused "confirmed" ids. Oh, and they did regular audits which were taken very seriously by management. Last I heard, they were 18 months into a 6 month project to move their local database cache to Zookeeper... |
