DataLoader are perfect in various client-side and server-side scenarios.

DataLoader decouple any kind of request in a simplified way to a backend resource like a database or a web service to reduce the overall traffic to those resources by using two common techniques in computer science namely batching and caching. With batching we decrease the amount of requests to a backend resource by grouping single requests into one batch request. Whereas with caching we avoid requesting a backend resource at all.
