Technologies described herein can be used for the bulk lazy loading of structured data from a database. A request can be received to initialize an application data structure (such as a structured data object, a hierarchical data structure, an object graph, etc.). The data structure can be analyzed to identify a plurality of child objects of the data structure. Database records associated with the plurality of child objects can then be identified. A loaded child record table can be inspected to determine which of the identified database records are not stored in a cache. A request can be generated, comprising one or more queries to retrieve the uncached subset of database records from the database. Once the uncached subset of records are received from the database, these records can be used, along with the cached subset of the identified database records, to initialize the plurality of child objects of the application data structure.
