Basically, a generic builder UI for custom database tables (including hierarchical) a default series of page widgets to select/render query results, and an API to access the custom data for advanced development.
Generally, though, in Umbraco you would store this kind of data within the actual CMS as nodes (without templates). These could be nested. So you could have a repository of "modules" with each module based on a document type and then you can added these modules to a page using a Multi Node Tree Picker.
I had seen Fluidity and figured that was probably what I needed, but just wanted confirmation from people with more than "5mins" exposure to Umbraco.
I'm comfortable working with that to get what I need, but I'm surprised that such a basic requirement as a custom-data module builder isn't a standard feature of the Umbraco "backoffice" UI.
Custom Data Modules
New to Umbraco and still exploring it as a possible option for future sites.
Does Umbraco have anything equivalent to the Dynamic Modules and Module Builder UI of Sitefinity? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCfc9GQoGoQ&t=1m

There is a package called Fluidity that allows you to extend the Umbraco backend to allow the management of custom data in tables:

Thanks for that.
