It depends on how you would define "production scale".
If you're talking about hosting a publicly accessible Streamlit app on the internet, it's definitely possible but will require you to set up an appropriate infrastructure around it: sticky load balancer, replication, orchestration, etc.
If you're talking about hosting something for internal use by your company, very often just a simple machine serving your Streamlit app is more than enough.
That said, we're currently working on Streamlit For Teams, which is a paid offering that will make it trivial to deploy Streamlit apps for these use cases. If you're interested, you can sign up here: https://streamlit.io/forteams/

can this be used for building web apps at production scale?

I'd go for R Shiny.
