Join us in the next AZUG meetup and learn how to tune your cloud database. **Hands‑on tutorial on Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server parameter tuning** PostgreSQL exposes hundreds of configuration parameters, but only a few dozen truly determine performance and resource efficiency. Tuning them correctly is notoriously difficult due to complex interactions and workload‑specific behavior. Traditional approaches—manual tuning or generic rule‑based tools—often fall short. In this practical workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of server parameter tuning and get hands‑on experience using heuristics‑based open‑source tools such as PGtune to achieve meaningful performance improvements. We'll explore which parameters matter most, how PGtune's heuristics work, and why they influence performance. The session concludes with an introduction to DBtune Community Edition , an AI‑powered agentic tuning engine that blends heuristic rules with modern AI and ML techniques to deliver smarter, workload‑aware optimization. **Prerequisites: Bring your own laptop with a command‑line shell (eg, PowerShell).** If you are using a company laptop, please whitelist \*\* [http://app.dbtune.com%2A%2A./]app.dbtune.com\*\*. **About our Speaker:** Dr. Luigi Nardi is the founder and CEO of DBtune, a leading company driving advancements in AI, database systems, and cloud computing. Previously an associate professor of AI at Lund University and a research staff at Stanford University, Luigi's expertise centers around Bayesian methods and optimization theory and practice. Luigi's journey includes a post-doctoral position at Imperial College London and a role as a software engineer at Murex, following his Ph.D. program in applied mathematics at Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris in 2011. Luigi is a public speaker and prolific researcher, having co-authored more than 50 peer-reviewed papers at leading venues in machine learning and computer science. **Sponsors:** https://www.dewise.com/ https://codenode.dk/

**Co-working for writers in Amager!** Join us for an hour of focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in the area. We meet in this lovely spacious café, chilled out, usually not very busy at this time, with an on-site bakery of delicious pastries. Once everyone is here and settled, I will lead a quick introduction, and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. After the hour is up feel free to chat / take off / keep writing if you're on a roll. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers, and it can be a great way to learn from eachother. **A note about the format** We don’t host critiques or readings.

*Talk by Claes Worm* `tatr` is a new tool written in OCaml for recursively traversing file-hierarchies and finding all indented trees of text that match your queries. Its design tries to be simple, powerful, elegant and general. A common action on the CLI is to search for all the files within some directory that contain a specific regular expression - e.g. using a mix of `find` and `grep` or tools that do both like `ripgrep`. These tools only match on lines, not on “sets of lines” or “related lines” or “trees of indented text” - `tatr` does this and filters the trees to only show the parts you are interested in. What formats can you query? Anything that contains lines of text that are related to each-other based on indentation. E.g.: * bullet-point based notes like markdown, wiki, org-mode or plain text * notes with *tags* * code that contains comments * structured configuration-formats like json, sexp, etc. When used with your notes; you suddenly get the opportunity to not only structure your notes by linking pages in a graph or tree - but also by tagging and logically relating “verbal arguments” via indentation. [https://github.com/rand00/tatr](https://github.com/rand00/tatr) [https://r7p5.earth](https://r7p5.earth) *As usual, there's mingling at the local bar after the talk.*

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: - 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros. - Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour. - After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now? Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be. Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t. Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.

In May, we are reading [Eurotrash by Christian Kracht](www.goodreads.com/book/show/209567298-eurotrash). **Synopsis** Realising he and she are the very worst kind of people, our unnamed middle-aged narrator embarks on a highly dubious road trip through Switzerland with his terminally ill and terminally drunken mother. They try unsuccessfully to give away or squander the fortune she has amassed from investing in armament industry shares. Along the journey they bicker endlessly over the past, throw handfuls of francs into a ravine and exasperate the living daylights out of their long-suffering taxi driver. The crimes of the twentieth century are never far behind, but neither is the need for more vodka. *Eurotrash* is a bitterly comic, vertiginous mirror-cabinet of familial and historical reckoning. Kracht's novel is a narrative tour-de-force of the tenderness and spite meted out between two people who cannot escape one another.

Seniors with 60+ years of life experience who are community leaders, intellectuals, artists, storytellers, and want to share their experience over dinners for a small group each time. Every Wednesday there is dinner hosted by a different Silver (senior host) who will open their front door, welcome a group of 5-8 people into their home, and share their stories, knowledge, and connections across the table over a themed evening. Each host chooses their own theme and it is the aim to pass on their hard-earned knowledge.
