CRUD

Definitions

1. Create, Read, Update, Delete — the four basic operations of persistent storage. Nearly every web application is fundamentally a CRUD app with varying amounts of business logic on top. The humble CRUD app keeps the world running.

   In plain English: The four basic things you can do with data: create new records, read existing ones, update them, or delete them — the foundation of most software.

2. The realization that most software is CRUD is either depressing or liberating, depending on your perspective. Frameworks like Rails, Django, and Laravel gained popularity by making CRUD operations trivially easy, letting developers focus on the business logic that actually differentiates their product.

   Example: 'Don't overthink the architecture. It's a CRUD app with some business rules. Pick a framework, generate the scaffolding, and focus on the domain logic.'
