Maybe blocks is what you are after?

You can check out tutorials like:

and also examples in alloy demo projects where there are a few blocks implemented.

Two basic options I would say:

1. Use standard .NET Entity Framework and store data using that. I would store it in a separate database to leave the Episerver db intact.

2. Use Episerver DDS to store data. The advantage is that you don't need a separate database and less custom code. Works well as long as you don't have huge amounts of data (more than 10 000+ rows)
