I've been been learning haskell by building a standard monolithic web application: Postgres DB, some static content, REST API and firebase authentication. It's taking longer than it would with a familiar language but so far I'm really enjoying the experience. I also took a small deviation a couple of weekends ago to build a simple OSM router and was pleased with the ease of development and performance.

I'd recommend the book Practical Haskell by Alejandro Serrano Mena to get a firm introduction to the language and ecosystem of web applications. After that take at look at the libraries developed by FP complete.

I'm using the same method as you. What are you using as the SQL and REST API libs? I'm using Servant and a library called Squeal for Postgres.

I'm combining servant and Yesod into a single WAI app so that I can serve a web app and provide an API from the same server. For DB access I'm using persistent.
