     When I create SharePoint 2013 workflow in designer, they run in Workflow Manager 1.0 if they are 2013 version workflows.

     If I create a workflow in Visual Studio as sharepoint app ? where do they run ?

     What is the alternative to Workflow Manager 1.0 to host and run the workflows ? like ordinary workflows of visual studio apart from sharepoint.

     What are the pros and cons of using Workflow manager to host your workflows.

    Hi,

    In SharePoint 2013, visual studio workflows run in workflow manager.

    “

    Microsoft has taken a very different approach to workflows in SharePoint 2013 than in previous versions. SharePoint workflows are now based on Windows Workflow Foundation 4, and their execution is driven by a new component called Workflow Manager, which runs externally to SharePoint.

    ”

    The new workflow architectural for your reference:


    SharePoint 2010 workflow API was manifested only in the server-side object model, but SharePoint 2013, Microsoft extended the CSOM to include a robust API for the new workflow architecture.

    And the workflow manager provides new features like enable no-code web service calls from within a workflow, new workflow building blocks such as Stage, Loop, and App Step, more information for your reference:
