I find UUIDs very useful for this reason - the IDs can be generated by different parts ofba distributed system, and be "guaranteed" to be unique.

In this kind of system you can also generate deterministic UUIDs, which are useful for idempotency (e.g. The same event can be recognised as a duplicate)
