Spring vs Ruby on Rails, which is more beneficial for my situation?

I created a student database for a university through MySQL . I want the database be retrivable through my app. So now I need to create an API to do so.

My question is, should I use Spring or Ruby on Rails to create the API? I've heard Ruby on Rails is fine for simple CRUD operations. And Spring is used for more complicated back-end logic (like what? an example would be great). For my app, I need to update it every few months since the number of students keeps on changing; should I use Spring or RoR?
