Bot Framework Composer (Preview) is an integrated development tool for developers and multi-disciplinary teams to build bots and conversational experiences with the Microsoft Bot Framework. Within Composer, you'll find everything you need to build a sophisticated conversational experience: a visual dialog editor, tools to train and manage Language Understanding (LU), language generation and templating systems, and a ready-to-use bot runtime executable.

Please follow the below doc for the prerequisites to publish a bot to Azure.

Because Composer is using web standards, it can run anywhere the web platform can run. Customers can take Composer and host it in their existing web infrastructure as a standalone authoring application for their business needs.
