Lagoon is an application for centralizing structured and semi-structured data in an easy-to-query format. Written in Haskell and built on top of Postgres, Lagoon supports a variety of features including automatic schema generation, SQL queries, cross-dataset querying, and dataset versioning. Lagoon includes a REST API, allowing it to be easily integrated with a wide range of client applications.

The core components of lagoon are its server and command line client applications. Follow the getting started guide to configure and start running a lagoon instance.

For convenience, Lagoon also includes client libraries for interacting with its REST API in a variety of programming languages:

• Python (PyLagoon)
• Ruby (RubyLagoon)
• R (RLagoon)

Pre-built docker images containing the lagoon server and CLI may be found on DockerHub. Simply pull one of the images there and follow the configuration guide to get started.

Lagoon is packaged with nix, and all build configurations can be found in the nix/ directory.

To build the lagoon server, simply install nix then run:

nix-build -A lagoon-server
