Welcome to the forum @dhai!

Yes, you can use the Basic licensed features in production. Basic features are covered by the Elastic License, which you can find on GitHub here: [https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/blob/master/licenses/ELASTIC-LICENSE.txt](https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/blob/master/licenses/ELASTIC-LICENSE.txt)
