Full Stack Open is a free, self-paced online course from the University of Helsinki that teaches modern web application development, covering how front-end and back-end components fit together. It is built around JavaScript, React, Node, and related tooling.

Commenters point to it as a resource that shows how the different components of a web app fit together, though one notes it is less beginner-friendly than CS50.

    I mean there's resources that approach it that way. I can recommend CS50 - they have a web development course that follows up the main CS50 course, and shows exactly what you're describing about the different components fitting together. Another great resources is https://fullstackopen.com/en/ which does the same thing but maybe isn't quite as beginner friendly as CS50.
