How to implement a backend for Custom UI Jira app?

Question

Hello, I am building a jira app following their custom ui tutorial. The app is a simple form for new employees joining our company. However, when I want to submit the form, I'd like to implement a backend that posts the form to the issue and saves all user's data. I am using a full combination of HTML, Javascript, and CSS. Please feel free to share any thoughts or questions about my app. Thanks!

Let's say I start fresh using "forge create" in the bash. What would be the next steps after creating a custom-ui to connect a python backend?

I'm afraid there is not much we can help you with here, it's your code and your design.  I know Javascript can make REST calls, but I don't know if it's the right thing for your application.
