# HTTP CRUD Database Lifecycle  Our product manager wants to show profile data on a user's settings page. Here's how we could engineer that feature request: 1. First, the front-end webpage loads. 2. The front-end sends an HTTP `GET` request to a `/users` endpoint on the back-end server. 3. The server receives the request. 4. The server uses a `SELECT` statement to retrieve the user's record from the `users` table in the database. 5. The server converts the row of SQL data into a `JSON` object and sends it back to the front-end.
