Wasm, Sovereign Infrastructure, and the Future of Portable Compute
Wasm, Sovereign Infrastructure, and the Future of Portable Compute
### Agenda **16:30** Doors open, find a seat, network, enjoy **17:00** Welcome by Cloud Native Copenhagen **17:05** Welcome by hosts Nine, Trifork, and CodeNode **17:15** Talk 1 — *Where are we at with the Wasm?* **18:00** Break with food and drinks **18:45** Talk 2 — *One binary to rule them all, a sovereign story* **19:30** Snacks and networking **20:00** Thank you for today Join us for an evening at **Cloud Native Copenhagen** hosted by **Nine**, **Trifork**, and **CodeNode**, where we explore two timely cloud native topics: the evolution of WebAssembly on the server, and the practical realities of building sovereign AI infrastructure. First, **Mikkel Mørk Hegnhøj** will take us through the current state of WebAssembly. Wasm has moved far beyond the browser, and with the continued maturation of WASI, new use cases are emerging across browsers, CDNs, and cloud environments. This talk will look at the history, the technology’s current capabilities, and where Wasm may fit into the future computing landscape. After the break, **Nicklas Frahm**, Director of Platform Engineering at Corti, will share Corti’s sovereign infrastructure journey. GPUs are expensive, hard to procure, and increasingly shaped by geopolitical constraints. In response, Corti’s platform team has been building **Kommodity**, an open source Kubernetes engine based on Talos Linux and Cluster API, alongside a KServe-based inference stack using vLLM and NVIDIA Triton. Nicklas will explain how Corti is using this stack to move infrastructure from Azure to Scaleway. Expect technical talks, food and drinks, and plenty of time to connect with the Copenhagen cloud native community.

Fun Social Valdemar's "evening" Run
Fun Social Valdemar's "evening" Run
Come join us for a social trail run, jog, walk! We are celebrating Valdemar's Day, the day Dannebrog fell from th sky. We are not a typical running club, so please read about the concept in “about us”. How it works: we don’t know in advance where the trail will go, but we know it will be fun! A member of the club, the 'hare', sets a trail, usually marked with flour. The rest of us, the 'pack', follows the hare's 'scent', i.e., the marks. There will be a 8-10 km trail for runners with shortcuts down to 5-6 km for walkers and those who need a slower pace. We have no set pace - run/walk as slow or as fast as you'd like. After the run we enjoy some refreshments and socialize. Come a few minutes before the start so that you can say hi and leave your bag in a designated bag car before we set off at 18:30. Don’t worry if there are few registrations on Meetup. We have existed for 44 years, and a lot of our members (anywhere from 20 to 50 people) just show up. Four-legged friends are welcome! We never cancel. See you there!

The format is presentation-style, with live demos and time for questions throughout. After brief scene-setting on coding agents and what makes Claude Code distinct, we'll go problem-driven: demoing it live on a released Unity game and introducing each feature as a solution to a problem we hit. What to Expect: * An intro to coding agents and where Claude Code fits * A live demo on a real Unity project * Key features as solutions to real problems: 𝖢𝖫𝖠𝖴𝖣𝖤.𝗆𝖽, context management, hooks, skills, subagents, and MCP * Unity-specific pain points, including Domain Reload and MCP caveats * Putting it together All experience levels welcome.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code* Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
