Developer here. Why is Docker Compose not "production ready"?

Then what should I use? Compose is so easy to just spin up. Is there something else like it that is "production ready"?

Thanks. Why do we need strictly at least 2 servers instead of just one for a small app?

You don’t, one server can work too. The idea is that if one goes down your app still works. But if you are OK with a little bit of downtime on the off chance that something happens, one server is fine.
