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).

**Wars, AI, Civilizations, and Competing Visions of Life...** We’re entering an era defined by a single, uneasy question: *who shapes the future of the world?* The rivalry between the United States and China is no longer just about trade or territory. It’s about technology, artificial intelligence, power—and, beneath it all, very different ideas about what a good life and a good society actually are. This is not a military briefing or a policy debate. It’s a philosophical conversation about what this global confrontation really means for humanity. *** **Topics we’ll touch on:** * Is this a new Cold War—or something fundamentally different? * AI as a strategic weapon: dominance, surveillance, autonomy, and control * Freedom vs stability: individual rights or collective order? * Can technology replace ideology—or does it secretly *become* ideology? * Is war becoming more likely, or just more invisible? * What do these two worldviews say about human nature, meaning, and purpose? * And ultimately… what kind of future are we drifting toward—and which one do we *want*? Casual discussion. No expertise required. Just curiosity, reflection, and a willingness to think beyond headlines and slogans. Whether you feel anxious, fascinated, skeptical, or conflicted—you’re not alone. Let’s look past the superpowers—and ask what kind of world they are quietly building for all of us.

Escape the winter chill and immerse yourself in an evening of creativity, conversation, and coziness. Join us for a **Mulled Wine & Collage Workshop**—a seasonal gathering that celebrates Danish *hygge* through warm drinks and imaginative art-making. Set in a charming Copenhagen café turned creative studio for the night, you’ll begin with a tasting of traditional Danish **gløgg** (mulled wine) in all its variations—red, white, spiced, and even alcohol-free. With guidance from a local flavor-maker, you’ll get the chance to create your own personalized blend using classic Scandinavian spices and garnishes. Once your mug is filled with your perfect concoction, settle into a candlelit workspace stocked with vintage magazines, colorful papers, fabrics, and other tactile treasures. A collage artist will guide the group through a meditative cut-and-paste flow where you’ll create a visual piece rooted in seasonal themes like winter coziness, Copenhagen memories, or dream landscapes. Whether you come with friends or on your own, this cozy and creative evening will leave you inspired, relaxed, and ready for winter.
