RSVP [here on Luma](https://luma.com/dq9aq8wp) ☕ HackCafe: Build, Sip, Ship. ​Baku’s Architects, Seniors, and Founders: This is for you. ​Forget the 48-hour marathons and the pitch decks. We’re going back to the roots of pure development. HackCafe is a 3.5-hour "Sprint-to-Demo" session where we turn caffeine into functional code. No judges, no rankings—just high-level networking and shipping MVPs. ​We are bringing together the three pillars of the Baku dev scene for one morning of intense building: ​🛠 The Stack (Provided for all Builders) To make sure we move fast, our partners are fueling the session with premium access: ​Google Develeoper Groups Baku: Instant access to Google AI Studio & Gemini API Keys and GCP credit ​AWS User Group Baku: AWS Credits to deploy your backend/infra on the spot. ​Cursor Baku: Cursor Credits to experience the fastest AI-assisted coding environment. ​🎯 Who is this for? We are specifically looking for experienced developers and architects who: ​Want to Socialize: Skip the LinkedIn networking; meet your peers while actually building something together. ​Want to Experiment: Have a "weekend project" or a new AI tool you’ve been dying to try? This is your window. ​Value "Shipping": We don't care about perfect code. We care about a working demo in 3 hours. ​📜 The HackCafe "Un-Rules" The Cafe Tax: The event is free, but we support our local hosts. Every builder must buy at least one coffee/snack. ​No Slides Allowed: Your "presentation" at the end is 2 minutes of showing us your code or your running app. ​Bias for Action: Don't spend 2 hours on setup. With Cursor + AWS + Google AI, you should have a prototype running in 60 minutes. ​⏰ The Schedule 11:00 AM: The Pitch Fire (Find a partner or grab your credits). ​11:15 AM: Deep Work & Hacking. ​2:00 PM: The Demo Reel (Rapid-fire show & tell). ​2:30 PM: Networking & Wrap-up. ​🎒 What to Bring Your Laptop & Charger. (Power outlets are limited, so come with a full battery if possible!) ​An Open Mind. Be ready to help a neighbor or learn a new tool. ​A "Bias for Action." Don't spend 3 hours choosing a CSS framework—just start building. ​Note: Space is limited by the cafe's capacity. Please RSVP only if you are 100% sure you can make it. ​📍 Event Details ​Date: 29.03.2026 ​Time: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM ​Location: United Coffee Beans (UCB) Nizami Street. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/yBs1QZcCiy7n2LT97](https://maps.app.goo.gl/yBs1QZcCiy7n2LT97?utm_source=luma) ​Cost: Free (Price of 1 Coffee) ​Let’s turn caffeine into code. See you at the cafe!

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
