A lot of people dismiss CRUD apps because they only picture a simple todo list or blog engine. But the moment you actually try to build something production grade you run into all the things you listed: concurrency, caching, type safety across layers, indexing strategies, keyset pagination, auth tradeoffs, UI ergonomics, etc. The funny part is most businesses still run on what boil down to CRUD apps. Accounting systems, ERPs, logistics dashboards, CRMs they are “just CRUD,” but they move billions of dollars. AI can help with parts of this (maybe codegen for boilerplate or smarter query planning), but it does not erase the problem space. If anything it makes consistency, reliability, and security even more critical. To me the interesting angle isn’t “AI replaces CRUD,” it’s “CRUD is the substrate that everything, including AI apps, has to sit on.”
