Is hyperledger composer meant for production

Based on the training videos I have watched, they all talk about the composer as something you use to "define and test your business network", but it almost feels like once its verified and tested, you throw it away and use something more serious. Am I wrong? Even term "playground" feels "experimental" -- something you mess with, but thats all. So, would you build a production system based on composer? How do you split it into multiple machines for redundancy? If composer is so slick and the "obvious" choice for building hyperledger applications, when would you NOT use it and use Fabric or Sawtooth instead? I am trying to get started and dont want to waste time on the wrong path. If you were to build a "serious" supply chain application with multiple players, what framework approach would you take? Thank you

Hyperledger Composer is not a separate platform. It uses Hyperledger Fabric "under the hood". The main problem with Composer is it does not have all the options and features of Fabric exposed in the Composer interface. So, it allows for rapid prototyping at the expense of flexibility. Composer has an impressive user interface.

Unfortunately, Composer is now in maintenance mode with no new features being put into it. See https://lists.hyperledger.org/g/composer/message/125

I would consider Hyperledger Sawtooth or Hyperledger Fabric for permissioned blockchain applications.
