Dataloader vs plain ecto
If I use subqueuries, joins, and other mechanisms effectively, are there still times where dataloader would be necessary in a project with a single postgres repo? That is, is dataloader meant for people who don’t want to dig into advanced queries?

No, Dataloader is not meant to replace Ecto, and generally isn’t particularly ergonomic to use outside of GraphQL.
I think the design philosophy of data loader has value outside of GraphQL because I think the combination if flexible querying with contexts remains problematic, but the specifics of how Dataloader works and how it’s API is set up makes it very impractical outside of Absinthe.
