Is Langchain not for production?

Hello everyone,

I am a full stack MERN developer, now trying my hands on building some GEN AI RAG applications.

As a beginner, as I am totally in JS environment, so I choose to go with Langchain JS/TS SDK, to go forward, and I created a project also, which is somewhat chat with youtube videos. But the thing is yesterday I read some articles which are saying Langchain is not for production.

They have different points for this -

1) Langchain use tons of packages which most of us don't need so it's will only make application heavy.

2) Langchain fails at security levels.

3) Langchain changes rapidly, so not good for prod applications to change code every week.

and many more...

Can anyone give me some suggestions of what to do? My goal is to make a good prod ready application, as well as making my resume stronger to get hired.

If I skip langchain then I may need to write come extra codes in JS for character splitting, DB storing etc.

Please give some suggestions.

Also which stacks should I use to get hired?
