Is Visual Studio Online suitable for production?

Has anyone tried this development platform already? Full cycle - planning, development, publication, testing, feedback, etc.? Does it speed up development compared to your previous tools?
There is an opportunity to try for a simple web application for finance - parsing some data, analyzing it and issuing it to users.

Good.
Used this platform as tfs:
1. Wrote Product backlog.
2. We decomposed the tasks from the backlog and planned (each iteration we evaluated a set of tasks for the next two weeks and took them).
3. Used the whiteboard to get up-to-date information during the iteration.
4. In the same place - they started bugs, attached them to tasks in order to understand whether the user story is closed or there are bugs in it.
5. Of course, source control. We used the standard tfs, although you can try the git, it's just that at that time there was little experience with it.
6. Building and running tests (gated checkin, continuous integration). It's convenient - no one checked in.
Before that, they used team foundation server, github, trello, redmine, jira, teamcity.
Visual Studio Online is good because it combines everything in one place and is natively integrated into ms visual studio - when you check in, you can immediately specify the attached task and resolve it. Since they worked according to Scrum, they constantly felt the convenience. With the same jira, you have to update it manually, while you can’t see the history of changes by tasks (you can integrate, but you will need to write the task by number in the comment to the check-in, which is inconvenient).
Used for a team of 3-5 people, got a lot of fun.
