IT Consultancy
Sound technology advice rooted in practical experience. We help you choose the right approach for resilience and growth, and the simplest way to get there.
We build novel software solutions on deliberately boring infrastructure.
Coniston IT delivers consultancy, software development, infrastructure management and cloud services. We keep things simple, use what works, and don't add moving parts unless they earn their place.
Get in touchWhat we do
Services
Consultancy, development, infrastructure and cloud, delivered with a preference for proven patterns and honest tooling.
Software Development
Bespoke software with clean architecture, minimal dependencies and thorough test coverage at every level. Automated pipelines from commit to deploy, built to be understood and maintained, not just delivered.
Infrastructure Management
Reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure on commodity platforms. Everything defined as code, tested before it's applied, and automated so it stays consistent, not just on day one.
Cloud Services
Cloud design, migration and optimisation, all codified and repeatable. Sensible use of standard services, not every problem needs a managed product, and not every architecture needs a diagram that fills a wall.
Our products
SaaS
Alongside client work, Coniston IT builds and operates its own software products. Each one solves a real operational problem we've encountered in the field, with as few moving parts as we can get away with.
Envor
Cloud-native environment scheduling & FinOps
Provision and deprovision non-production environments outside of working hours. A straightforward, policy-driven scheduler that cuts cloud waste without changing how your teams work.

terragraft
v0.33.2 GoA config-based, opinionated Terraform wrapper that can get out of your way when you want to use Terraform natively. Handles workspace selection, variable injection and plan/apply workflows through a single config file, then steps aside for anything it doesn't need to own. Great for CI.

Who we are
Our People
Jonathan has loved technology for as long as he can remember, and has been writing code since he was 14. He started out as a web developer and, over the twenty years and more since, has grown comfortable across the whole stack. What he enjoys most is assembling complete, working things, software and hardware alike, and getting the whole lot running.
He favours proven patterns, commodity infrastructure, and implementations you can reason about: automate what is worth automating, define infrastructure as code, test properly, and keep no dependency that hasn't earned its place.
