Well, event stores are a very specific type of database that exists solely for the purpose of knowing exactly the order of events. It's not fair to say UUIDs are a problem because one very specific case shouldn't use it.



Definitely not! In fact, I use UUIDs everywhere else but the event store. I was just pointing out one case where having an int (well, bigint) primary key is actively useful, and UUIDs aren't.

(edit: spelling)
