Dongsun Moon
I write about software architecture,
AI, and building systems that work
in the real world.
From distributed systems to production AI,
I explore the practical decisions that turn complex
ideas into reliable products.
NEW BOOK
Beyond the Model
A Systems Theory of Modern AI Quality
Your model got better. Your product did not. A diagnostic method for teams already shipping AI: before you ask which model, ask which layer.
Also by Dongsun Moon: Beyond Microservices
CORE IDEAS
Concepts from the books
Named ideas, each with a definition page you can link to and cite.
Quality Locus
Where production AI quality is won or lost: the model and the six surfaces around it.
Release Coupling Ratio
The fraction of teams that must deploy together for one change to reach production.
Decision Sunset
An expiry date on every architectural decision, so it is re-examined instead of renewed by default.
Consistency Profile
Consistency set per domain, key, and scene, instead of one label for the whole system.
Latest Writing
Notes on software architecture, production AI, and engineering.
