What Is UUID Queue Message ID?
- Brokers attach an id (often UUID-shaped) so you can acknowledge, redeliver, or dead-letter a specific message.
- Carrying your own v4 UUID in the body complements the broker id for app-level dedupe.
How to generate
- Read the broker-assigned id for ack/nack.
- Also embed your own UUID for business dedupe.
- Route failures to a DLQ keyed by id.
Use Cases
- SQS visibility + dedupe.
- Kafka offset-less idempotency.
- RabbitMQ manual ack.

Broker id enough or need my own?
Broker id covers delivery; your own UUID covers business dedupe across retries and replays.
