Comment on Show HN: GETadb.com – every GET request creates a DB

Generate a random UUID yourself and use a different UUID each time.

LLMs are terrible at this. If you are relying on this to prevent collisions, it will fail badly.

The UUID doesn’t actually affect the response. Every GET request still generates unique credentials each time, no matter what the value is that passes to /provision/<uuid>

We added it to help the app builders that do a lot of caching get unique responses. Turns out even if you set no-store cache headers, some app builders cache the pages. We tested this idea with those app builders and saw that they did generate uuids each time.
