Are you just trying to build a CRUD thing with login? Parse Server hosted on a Node JS server + MongoDB + a little jQuery should do the trick, and you could probably do it all on free tier hosting.

I wrote an easy guide on how to do it in half an hour, targeted at people new to web dev: https://medium.com/@smuzani/setting-up-a-mobile-backend-serv...

The nice thing with Parse is not just that it handles password hashing, roles, and access. Queries are easy, and will give you the results neatly. Client side queries are not secure, but you could host the code on Node.js, or use PHP.

The dashboard is quite sexy and works well on mobile too, which is one of the main reasons I like it.
