CRUD

Stands for: Create, Read, Update, Delete

The four basic operations of persistent storage: create, read, update, and delete.

Almost every data-backed application is, at bottom, a way to CRUD records, and REST verbs and SQL statements map onto these four actions. A 'CRUD app' is shorthand for straightforward software that mostly moves records in and out of a database.
