No, you don't need a humongous framework.
Install Node.js and an SQLite adapter. Learn to use the standard HTTP/S module. Write plain ol' JavaScript for the frontend and don't make it a SPA. Unless the app is getting a ton of traffic or has a lot of pages, there's no reason it can't be about that simple. In that case you only need 1 language and the only dependency is whatever you use to read/write to an SQLite database. No need for Rails, Laravel, Django, or anything that fancy.
On the other hand, one of those frameworks may be what you're looking for. I'm just saying it could be a lot simpler than that.
