Workflow Engine
New York, United States
What it is
Workflow Engine is an embeddable .NET workflow library that stores business process state in a database and supports timers, audit history, and process versioning. Its HTML5 visual Workflow Designer can be embedded in an application, with packages for React, Angular, and vanilla JavaScript and documented Blazor integration. The core package supports .NET Framework 4.6.2 through .NET 10 and is self-hosted on premises or in a customer's cloud. Listed databases include SQL Server, Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Azure Cosmos DB, MySQL, Oracle, and SQLite. Plugins include Approval, Loops, File, Active Directory and Entra ID, and Real-Time Tracking, along with support for custom plugins. It imports BPMN 2.0 diagrams as native schemes but does not export them back to BPMN. Workflow Engine Free is licensed for personal, non-commercial use and costs nothing, with limits of 10 schemas and 4 execution threads. Paid editions include one-time licenses and subscriptions. Workflow Engine NEO adds an HTTP API and multitenancy, while Workflow Server is a standalone Docker service called over HTTP. The core engine has no user store; authentication remains the host application's responsibility.
