Yes you need a lot more tools. A backend framework with a REST API plugged to a data base is common way of doing it. Personally I use Django + Django Rest Framework a lot on the server and axios to query it on the client. But you mileage may vary.

I would love to see a start to finish crud example of the "least" amount of magic and copy paste code for a guide on setting this up. I've messed around with Django and it seemed harder to grasp than rails due to using regex out of the gate to apply a simple route as opposed to get/do or resources.
