I'd go for a Flask back-end connected with Firebase for user authentication, storage and hosting. Developing in python for me is just much faster to get to a working prototype. Flask is super simple to use, and I find it great to implement HTTP REST APIs for the back-end of my MVP. With Firebase you can deploy containers in the cloud and you don't pay until you reach a certain threshold of monthly requests. In terms of my development environment I'd definitely use docker to containerize my environment and make it easier to collaborate with others. If I was making a bigger scale MVP with multiple collaborators and sensitive source code, I'd opt for a cloud based CDE (containerized development environment) with monitoring and security features, such as the one proposed by strong network.
