There is obviously no black or white answer for this but I would say go for it using Flask + heroku + PostgreSQL. Flask is excellent in terms of rapid prototyping and even though it does not come with batteries included like other bigger frameworks, it makes up for it through its excellent Extension Ecosystem. Check out Flask-SQLAlchemy, Flask-Login, Flask-WTForms, Flask-Scripts etc. Excellent documentation for everything. I have not used Heroku personally yet but they do offer free tier. I am pretty sure that flask is not a throwaway framework. Lately on Stackoverflow careers, I see a few companies using flask in production if that's one way to measure it.
