Depending on your actual use, ts.http.id() and ts.process.uuid() may be enough. Or the library James mentioned should work, too.
Hard to give specific advice on the organization because i think it depends on lots of factors like teams, projects, etc. But I almost always require the team to use module and write unit tests. I saw fancier organization/structure in which there is configuration file (written in lua) to determine the list of modules/functions to run for each hook and the ordering of them. Thanks. Sorry for replying late.
