fetch ★ 496 50 APPLICATION

Fetch is a Scala library for simple and efficient data access, built on cats-effect. It provides a monadic abstraction (`Fetch[F, A]`) that automatically optimizes data fetching through batching, caching, deduplication, and parallel execution. Users define data sources by implementing the `DataSource` trait, specifying how to fetch individual identities or batches. The library then composes fetches using standard monadic and applicative combinators, transparently batching requests to the same source and running independent fetches concurrently. It supports custom caches, optional fetches, error handling, and debugging via a separate `fetch-debug` module. The architecture is a pure library with no runtime dependencies beyond cats-effect, making it suitable for both JVM and Scala.js. Key entry points include `Fetch.apply`, `Fetch.run`, `Fetch.runLog`, and `Fetch.runCache`. External dependencies are minimal: cats-effect, cats-core, and scalatest for testing.
