Migrating from AppEngine

I have developed a application using GWT/AppEngine/Objectify. There are many clients who want this locally deployed in their environments as the data is sensitive. I cannot think of a way where the data of a application is hidden from its developers in AppEngine. Even I encrypt the data there will be always question about security.

I thought of the following alternatives

a) I have now a multitenancy application in appengine. I can now have a deployment for particular clients using their individual google accounts. This way they have security of data. I am not sure how I will handle new deployments. There is nothing like sharing the application with a user.

b) Migrate to MongoDB/MYSql. This will lead to the whole question of handling migrations when data models are changed.I have read that with MongoDB I will not face migration issues. Is this correct.

What would be the best way to solve this issue. The root issue is that we as developers have access to data in Google/AppEngine environment which the client does not want.

Any help would be appreciated.

The easiest would be for the client to create an App Engine account and you only supply the war.

If you still plan to migrate away from GAE, then you might want to take a look at AppScale and capedwarf-blue.
