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
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!

🌈 Rainbow Shores: Amager Beach Day
#
Sunshine, snacks, water, music, and a bunch of rainbow humans attempting to relax properly ☀️🌈
Join us for a chill beach day at **Amager Beach**, where the plan is simple:
Swim, tan, snack, talk, vibe, repeat.
**Date:** June 20th
**Time:** 1:00 pm
Bring whatever makes your ideal beach day:
🏖️ Towels
🧃 Drinks
🎲 Games
🍉 Snacks
🎵 Music
🧴 Sunscreen (seriously)
Some people will swim. Some will gossip in the sun. Some will become emotionally attached to a beach pigeon. All are valid.
Weather permitting, of course — this is still Scandinavia.
Coffee Talk
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.
Let's meet and talk books
Hi everyone! Let's gather and share our reading.
As usual, we will meet at the fourth floor of the Central Library as it has good facilities for book clubs and it is also free to use. No extra cafe money to spend.
Idea is to meet and connect over books. Each participant present 1-2 books they would like to recommend or just talk about, and then we'll see where conversation leads us. Again, there is no limitation to genre or type of book you are reading. The point is that we are free to read whatever we want and then share those reading experiences, so remember to be respectful to each other.
I hope to see as many of you as possible. :)
Geopolitics, Summer 2026 Edition! A World in Flux! Global Order! Casual Debate..
**“Geopolitics (!) — Summer 2026 and a World in Flux”**
Power, Conflict, Alliances, and the Shape of the Global Order
The world feels less stable than it did just a few years ago. Wars linger or expand, alliances are tested, and long-standing assumptions about security, globalization, and leadership are breaking down. Summer 2026 doesn’t mark a pause—it marks a moment of tension, transition, and uncertainty.
This isn’t a news recap or a prediction exercise. It’s a philosophical and strategic conversation about where the world stands—and what forces are quietly reshaping it.
***
**Topics we’ll touch on:**
* Are we moving toward a multipolar world—or a more chaotic one?
* Ongoing wars, frozen conflicts, and the risk of escalation
* The role of great powers vs regional players
* Europe’s position between security, values, and dependence
* Energy, resources, and the geopolitics of scarcity
* Is international law weakening—or merely adapting?
* And finally… are we entering a more dangerous era, or just a more honest one?
Casual discussion. No background in international relations required—just curiosity and a willingness to look beyond daily headlines. Whether you feel worried, cynical, cautiously hopeful, or unsure—you’re not alone.
Let’s take a step back from the noise—and think seriously about the world we’re living in.

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

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.
