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/

**This session is part of Global Azure 2026** Azure Skåne invites you to a double session. This time we have on stage **Venicia Solomons** \(aka Cyber Queen\)\, Cloud & AI Security at Microsoft \| CISSP and our own **Nikos Delis**, Microsoft MVP for Azure & Iot. **Agenda**: * 17:30 - 17:45 Meet & Greet * 17:45 - 18:30 Session 1 - Venicia Solomons * 18:45 - 19:30 Session 2 - Nikos Delis * 19:30 - 20:30 Mingle **Session 1 (by Venicia): Governing AI Apps and Agents - The Microsoft Approach** Every organisation is racing to deploy AI agents, and most are quietly inheriting a security problem they haven't named yet. By 2028, there will be an estimated 1.3 billion AI agents in the world. The old playbook doesn't stretch that far. In this session I'll share what I'm seeing in the field: why AI security isn't traditional security, and why every agent needs an identity, because that's what will define how we govern and manage them. At the core of Microsoft's approach is Agent 365, extending Purview, Entra, and Defender into the agent world so you can actually discover, protect, and govern what your business is building. Expect a few practical things you can take back to your team. **Session 2 (by Nikos): Architecting Agentic Systems Like a Grown-Up** What does “agentic” look like in a real codebase? In this deep dive, we’ll architect goal-driven systems using **Microsoft Agent Framework**—covering tool orchestration, planning cycles, state management, multi-agent composition, and governance. We’ll apply classic engineering principles to systems that reason, act, and adapt.

*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 inspiring session exploring the frontier of "constructive" democratic technology. As traditional mechanisms for citizen engagement struggle against polarization and an algorithm-driven attention economy, how can we build digital public infrastructure that actually brings people together? Digital deliberation provides a new framework for our democracy. Rather than focusing on division, these tools allow us to map underlying consensus and foster collective sense-making across society. In this meetup, we move beyond abstract theory to explore the practical ways the Finnish Innovation Fund (Sitra) has successfully deployed citizen participation at scale, and look ahead to the new European Civic Tech Hub. We will dive into: * **The Power of "Voxit":** How Finland successfully scaled this open-source platform across more than 120 societal dialogues, utilizing AI and statistical clustering to map "Uncommon Ground" and find consensus. * **From National Labs to European Impact:** Insights from massive citizen dialogues—such as the "What do you think about AI, Finland?" campaign—and how they directly shape public sector rulebooks. * **The European Civic Tech Hub:** How the ongoing work to build a centralized hub under the European Commission's *European Democracy Shield* aims to solve the biggest bottlenecks in civic tech adoption, from procurement to GDPR compliance. **About the Speaker & Moderator:** **Sanna-Kaisa Saloranta (Speaker)** is a Specialist and Democracy Team Lead at Sitra's International Programmes. She leads efforts to scale democratic innovations that support collective sense-making, actively working to bridge the gap between Finnish open-source success and the wider European digital ecosystem. **Michael Jensen (Moderator)**, Co-founder of DemAI, will host the session and guide the conversation, drawing on his expertise in democratic AI to bridge the themes of the presentation with our audience's questions. Come prepared for a constructive dialogue on how we can learn from these approaches to build a more transparent, resilient, and connected democratic future in Europe. We look forward to seeing you there!

Join us for another evening of deep dives into data engineering! This time, we are hosted by **[Heyra](https://heyra.io/)** for two talks that explore the practical side of the "Agentic" shift in data workflows and the high-performance internals of data transfer with Apache Arrow. As always, there will be food, drinks, and plenty of time to network with fellow data engineers in the Copenhagen community. Based on the style of your previous events and the details provided, here is a draft for the upcoming **Agentic data engineering, beyond the hype** *Kilian Tscherny, Lead Data Engineer @ Heyra* Data engineering is changing fast, and the teams getting ahead are the ones rebuilding their workflow around agents instead of just bolting them on. In this talk, Kilian will cover how the team at Heyra has adapted to this shift, sharing real-world examples of how agentic workflows can move beyond the hype to provide actual architectural value. **Taking Flight: Zero-Copy Data Transfer at Scale with Apache Arrow Flight and Friends** *Anders Bogsnes,* *Head of Investments & Trading Engineering @ Nordea Asset Management* We all love Apache Arrow in our DataFrames and DuckDBs - but have you considered how the data is ending up on your machine? Arrow Flight and friends was designed as a way of enabling end-to-end native Arrow communication and in this talk we will go through the motivations behind the Arrow Flight protocol, introduce some of the derived protocols, and we end by building an Arrow Flight server from scratch and demonstrating how to interact with that server from a client. **Agenda** * **18:00:** Doors Open & Networking * **18:20:** Welcome from Copenhagen Data Engineering & Heyra * **18:30:** Agentic data engineering, beyond the hype – Kilian Tscherny * **19:00:** Food, Drinks & Networking * **19:30:** Taking Flight: Zero-Copy Data Transfer at Scale – Anders Bogsnes * **20:00:** Networking & More Drinks

# Tired of dating apps or surface-level social events? This is different. Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk. This is not speed dating. Not networking. Not “pitch yourself to strangers.” It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ## What happens • A 2-hour guided online relational experience • Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction • A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present • Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward • WhatsApp connection thread after the session ## This may be for you if: • You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces • You want deeper connection without forced intimacy • You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work • You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way ## Important This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. Both are the real thing. Booking happens through our website. 👉 Reserve your spot: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Optional in-person continuation: same day or within 48 hours depending on the city Most people come alone. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real. Sometimes awkwardness turns into ease. Sometimes curiosity turns into chemistry. Sometimes people simply remember what it feels like to actually connect again.
