Haxl

Haxl is a Haskell library that simplifies access to remote data, such as databases or web-based services. Haxl can automatically batch multiple requests to the same data source, request data from multiple data sources concurrently, cache previous requests, and memoize computations. Having all this handled for you behind the scenes means that your data-fetching code can be much cleaner and clearer than it would otherwise be if it had to worry about optimizing data-fetching. To use Haxl in your own application, you will likely need to build one or more data sources: the thin layer between Haxl and the data that you want to fetch, be it a database, a web API, a cloud service, or whatever. There is a generic datasource in "Haxl.DataSource.ConcurrentIO" that can be used for performing arbitrary IO operations concurrently, given a bit of boilerplate to define the IO operations you want to perform.
