I don't think you'd want to build a crud application in wordpress. Wordpress probably won't help you there much. You could probably turn it into a "plugin" but even then you'd be writing a lot of your own code. We're working on switching to wordpress for the volunteer organization I work at. Right now all the "information/kinda static" content is on wordpress with pages and posts. Its a win, anyone with permission can edit. Our custom application isn't there and has its own separate database and code. We're thinking of moving the whole thing into a sort of plugin, but we're very symphony based.. Which we like

Our custom application isn't there and has its own separate database and code. This is a nice approach - getting to leverage WordPress for the typical use case at which it is good, using something bespoke for the more advanced use cases. I've actually done something a bit similar in the past (the particular app i made used Lumen which is essentially stripped down Laravel, but the concept was close enough). It's just that many made WordPress seem like a pretty much universal tool and while i've seen some pretty advanced things be done with plugins, i personally didn't quite feel like it's well suited for certain tasks where you'd typically reach for a general purpose web framework instead.
