Create better UUID generator #12

Open formerhermit opened 7 years ago

formerhermit commented 7 years ago

DynamoDB cannot automatically generate unique IDs when adding new items to a table (Joys of NoSQL I think). Need to consider a better solution that current one. Currently using code snippet which uses math(random) to produce numbers which look a bit like UUID but are not true UUIDs - this could potentially produce a non-unique key but good for proof of concept until hello world is up and running.

Think this might become a redundant issue if we choose RDS as a solution over DynamoDB like in #13
