Google app engine is my go to for web apps that need to be used in production at a small scale while I'm still evolving the functionality. What you prototype transfers into prod surprisingly well. The best part is I don't really have to worry about security - I just setup one of the default available authentication types and define access control in the routes in app.yaml. You don't have to be worried a hacking group will somehow subvert your instance if you miss applying a security update or mess up firewalls etc. If it's an internal app and your company is using Google Apps for business, you can even restrict access to people logged in to the company domain very easily. The persistence layer is a bit problematic at very small scale (think hobby projects) but if you are willing to spin up a cloud SQL instance which wouldn't be an issue for paid projects, you get an excellent secure auto managed environment.
