I know Android Studio is at its early access stage. Is it ready for production at all? Does anyone know and has anyone deploy an app from Android Studio?

No it is not. In fact it is available as an alpha release.

As the Android Team report on its website

Caution: Android Studio is currently available as an early access preview. Several features are either incomplete or not yet implemented and you may encounter bugs. If you are not comfortable using an unfinished product, you may want to instead download (or continue to use) the ADT Bundle (Eclipse with the ADT Plugin).

Here is the link to the first Beta release of Android Studio.

Why not Intelij IDEA?

I worked in a team (me and another guy) with Android Studio on an app. We had some ups and downs with it due to the bouncy nature of an early access preview something something but nothing really bad. Still, I think it is adventurous and a bit irresponsible to work with an early access preview IDE in production environment so I'd recommend using Intelij IDEA for android development. It is a matured and stabled product, and it has many great advantages over eclipse that makes life much easier.

I also worked with eclipse on a commercial app and this highly praised IDE had so many bugs I can't wait for Android Studio to come out, and for now I use Intelij IDEA which saved me when eclipse filed to build the project for days.

Down goes eclipse.
