Enterprise Architecture

Hi and welcome to 2026 and .NET Skåne again! This time we have the pleasure of inviting you to Turbine Studios at Malmö central station for yet another inspiring evening! This event is free to attend and there will be free drinks and food. We hope to see you there! **IMPORTANT:** If you have signed up to the event but can't make for some reason please cancel your spot in good time before the event so the spot is free for someone else to attend. **Agenda:** **How to build an engineering team using spec driven development** (Fredrik Hansson) In this session we’ll look at Spec-Driven Development and what it means for building teams in an AI-first world. In Spec-Driven Development, the spec is the main artifact: it makes intent, constraints, interfaces, and “done” explicit so implementation becomes predictable and reviewable. With AI in the loop, this matters even more - AI is only as good as the instructions we give it, and the spec becomes the contract between humans and code generation. **.NET API with Gen AI-prompted data in the real world** (Aimen Goitom) GenAI is everywhere right now… and with that comes a lot of noise. Around 95% of AI startups fail, but that’s not a reason to stay on the sidelines. It’s a signal that this is the right time to understand the technology, separate hype from value, and explore what actually works in real systems. In this session, I’ll share lessons from a recent real-world project at a client, focusing on how GenAI can be integrated into a traditional .NET API without overcomplicating things. We’ll look at two concrete and highly practical use cases: data matching and data enrichment. Each use case is demonstrated with a simple, relatable demo inspired by real production scenarios. You don’t need any prior experience with GenAI-APIs. This talk is designed to be accessible, pragmatic, and developer-focused. Along the way, we’ll explore some core behaviors and trade-offs of popular GenAI-APIs, and hopefully we’ll also have time to discuss where they fit (and where they don’t) in everyday backend development. **Making State Change Decisions** (Per Ökvist) As a follow-up to Pers previous session on deciders, we’ll dive deeper into how decisions about state changes are made. This talk explores collaborative state, concurrency, consistency, and constraints—along with the boundaries that shape these interactions. We’ll discuss practical ways to reason about data when making decisions, and how these concepts influence system design and reliability. **About the speakers:** [Fredrik Hansson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredrikha/) (Turbine Studios) Fredrik is a technical visionary and serial entrepreneur with over two decades of experience building products, platforms, and companies.

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.

**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. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing. For our full event schedule, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com) **Practical Details:** WiFi name / password: Kasada / haveaniceday Travel / Parking info: Kasada is just a few minutes walk from Lergravsparken Metro Station. We will usually be at the (only) round table, with power outlets if you need one. Venue Guidelines: Please thank our hosts by purchasing something.

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.

Welcome to Azure Skåne – **Special Workshop Edition!** Azure Skåne is excited to host a deep‑dive, hands‑on technical session with one of the leading experts in AI‑driven database optimization. This workshop is perfect for developers, data engineers, architects, and anyone working with PostgreSQL on Azure who wants to understand how real performance tuning is done in practice. This event is part of our ongoing community efforts to bring world‑class expertise to Malmö and create opportunities for learning, collaboration, and practical skill‑building around Microsoft Azure. Please also sign up on FooCafé, this helps plan the logistics regarding food and venue: \*https://foocafe.org/event/hands-tuning-azure-postgresql-flexible-server\* Agenda: **10.00 – 10.15** Welcome and introduction **10.15 – 11.00 / 11.15** Pre‑session with Dr. Luigi Nardi *Introduction to Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server parameter tuning* **11.15 – 12.00** Hands‑on Workshop with Mohsin Ejaz and David Edwards. Part 1 *Guided exercises, parameter exploration, PGtune heuristics* **12.00 – 12.45** Lunch and Mingle *(45 minutes)* **12.45 – 13.45** Hands‑on Workshop, Part 2 *Deep‑dive tuning, DBtune Free Edition walkthrough, Q&A* **13.45 – 14.00** Closing session *Wrap‑up, takeaways, and community announcements* **Session:** Hands‑on tutorial on Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server parameter tuning **Description:** 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 Free 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 (e.g., PowerShell).

**Important:** This event will happen in real life in Copenhagen. **Venue:** Saga (boat), Havnegade 31Z – Kajplads 140, 1058 København K, [sagaboat.dk](https://sagaboat.dk) **Scaling in the Real World** *What the Playbooks Don’t Tell You* Real stories, messy trade-offs, and scaling lessons you won’t find in a framework. Most talks about scaling sound the same: clean diagrams, neat playbooks, and tidy case studies. This meetup is about everything that doesn’t fit on the slide. We’ll hear from product leaders who have scaled teams, products, and customers in the real world—with all the chaos, contradictions, and uncomfortable decisions that come with it. Expect candid stories about what actually broke as things grew: processes that didn’t survive contact with reality, “best practices” that backfired, and the trade-offs they’d make differently today. You’ll walk away with concrete, experience-based tactics you can apply in your own company right now: * How scaling really feels from the inside (not just in diagrams) * What to do when bigger customers and bigger teams pull you in different directions * How to choose which fires to fight, and which chaos you can live with * Where popular scaling advice misleads—and how to adapt it to your context Come if you’re in the middle of scaling, about to hit that stage, or just tired of polished stories that skip the hard parts. We will have two exciting speakers lined up, each offering a unique perspective on scaling products teams and surviving it. Speakers are: 1. **Morten Lundsby Jensen** – This Is Fine: Scaling through new stages of chaos Morten’s experience at Zendesk, Google, and major silicon valley companies – and now in Denmark working for Syndicate – has given him a front-row seat to the chaos behind scaling. Morten will unpack the gap between theory and reality, and talk about what really happens when growth leads to bigger customers, larger teams, and brand new problems. 2. **Pernille Trolle Brøgaard** \- Scaling Without Breaking Your Teams In this talk, Pernille shares concrete stories from leading product organisations through a major platform migration, acquisitions, and cross-market scaling — including the deliberate choice to accept a traffic drop on dba.dk to enable a more scalable future. She walks through how the org handled tension between teams and stakeholders, big differences in team maturity, and the constant pull between short-term delivery and long-term sustainability. Rather than theory or playbooks, this session focuses on practical decisions, real constraints, and what the teams actually did when things got difficult. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or a team member navigating high-speed product environments, this event will offer grounded, real-world insights into what it takes to succeed under pressure. Join us at **Product Loop** for an evening of honest talks, practical takeaways, and good conversations with fellow product and design professionals. The event is powered by [Learning Loop](https://learningloop.io/). Sponsored by [syndicate.dk](https://www.syndicate.dk/) – the only real product coaching company. **AGENDA:** * Intro (and who’s participating) * **Morten Lundsby Jensen** – This Is Fine: Scaling through new stages of chaos * Beer break * **Second speaker** * More Networking * Thanks for tonight **Keywords:** leadership, scaling, delivery focus, strategy shift, team alignment, sustainable pace, resilience, team topologies, product operating model, productivity, team collaboration, rapid prototyping, venture studios

We're a group of writers that meets up every Sunday for a productive writing session. **Here's how the meetup works:** * We gather together, grab some fika, and then we write for an hour. * After the hour is up, we spend some time chatting, sharing ideas and thoughts on writing, and discussing the challenges we've come across. The goal is to **commit to working on your writing project for a set amount of time, all while** **connecting with other writers** and being motivated by the energy of creative minds working hard on their individual projects. You'll have the chance to share your work and receive valuable feedback (if you so wish) or simply enjoy the company of like-minded individuals. -- We're here, **same place, same time, every week.** So if you're feeling up to it, drop by and let's get writing!

**IMPORTANT:** This event is free, but you need to register here so we can provide access to the space: https://forms.gle/MwT2n74STmdTV6im7 Join the UXDX Copenhagen community for an evening exploring how design, product, UX and engineering choices shape the world we build. This event brings together two thought provoking talks on the political dimensions of UX and the human qualities that differentiate us in a tech driven era. ## **✨ Talks** ### **UX is Always Political** **Cecilia Fernández – Product Manager, Mastercard** Every button placement, every default and every so called intuitive flow carries an opinion. UX is rarely neutral. Cecilia will break down the hidden power structures behind everyday design decisions, from bias in AI interfaces to dark patterns that influence behaviour. You will walk away with a sharper lens on how design can empower or exclude and how to create more ethical, inclusive digital experiences. ### **Today I Experienced Something I Hope to Understand in a Few Days** **Caroline Ardvisson – Design Leader** Caroline explores what it means to stay human in a world increasingly shaped by technology. Drawing on her work and cultural references including Jørgen Leth’s *The Perfect Human*, she reflects on the analogue, emotional and interpretive aspects of being human that machines cannot replicate. The talk offers a grounded, optimistic view of the future of design and the enduring qualities that set us apart. ## **📅 Agenda** **16:45 – 17:20** Registration and welcome **17:20 – 17:30** Introduction from the UXDX Ambassador- Tasha Melchior **17:30 – 18:15** UX is Always Political – Cecilia Fernández **18:15 – 19:00** Today I Experienced Something I Hope to Understand in a Few Days – Caroline Ardvisson **19:00 – 19:30** Networking and close ## **About UXDX** UXDX helps teams shift from project based delivery to empowered, autonomous product teams. We host global conferences and over 150 free community events each year, bringing together UX, Product, Design and Development practitioners to share how real teams build better products faster.
