  1. haskell-nix

    Nix and Haskell in production

    Gabriel Gonzalez's haskell-nix is a far more palatable introduction tutorial, then they can make the choice of whether or not to buy into IOHK's haskell.nix ecosystem if it suits their needs.

  2. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

  3. haskell.nix

    Alternative Haskell Infrastructure for Nixpkgs

    I also prefer stack for development, but I use nix to deploy to production. This way, I can install ad-hoc system dependencies locally and play with them during development as well as enjoy the bits and pieces of Haskell ergonomics stack affords, and once I'm happy with what I have, I "nixify" those dependencies as part of the project nix configuration and send them to production without fear. I use IOHK's excellent haskell.nix infrastructure to nixify my stack-based Haskell project, which makes it trivial to maintain a nix configuration that's always in sync with my stack configuration.

  4. nixos-config

    Discontinued Personal collection of NixOS config files (by hsek)

  5. static-haskell-nix

    easily build most Haskell programs into fully static Linux executables

  6. Cabal

    Official upstream development repository for Cabal and cabal-install

    https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4646#issuecomment-528600067

  7. nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

    Official nixpkgs pretty much already supports static binaries, except it is currently broken right now due to: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/118731

  8. nix-cabal-simplest

    The simplest Nix + Cabal setup possible, for demo purposes.

    Not sure what kind of project you have, but for any starter this will be enough for a long run: https://github.com/avanov/nix-cabal-simplest It works no worse than Stack, probably even better, since Stack doesn't support all Cabal stanzas.

  9. Stream

    Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

  10. haskell-kafka

    Discontinued [GET https://api.github.com/repos/jtonic/haskell-kafka: 404 - Not Found // See: https://docs.github.com/rest/repos/repos#get-a-repository]

    The project was pushed on Github. The readme.md (hopefully) contains all the needed information to run locally and some useful links to nix/stack-with-nix etc.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
