Haskell a good choice for backend REST API with PostgreSQL database? (lemmy.ml)

I've been looking into Haskell and it seems really good. But does it have mature and productive frameworks that handle database access, HTTP, etc., or am I better off just going with Elixir/Phoenix?

Yes, it has two mainstream libraries, simple-postgresql and hasql both of which have seen use in professional setting.

For server, you have choices such as servant, yesod and scotty, which too have seen industrial use.
