Where does a deployed Flow Designer application run in Anypoint Platform?

A deployed Flow Designer application runs on a CloudHub worker within the Anypoint Platform. This is because CloudHub is MuleSoft's fully managed cloud platform as a service (PaaS) that enables developers to deploy and run applications in the cloud without the need for infrastructure management. When an application is designed using Flow Designer and then deployed, it specifically utilizes the resources from CloudHub to execute its workflow.

By leveraging CloudHub's capabilities, such as automatic scaling, load balancing, and high availability, the deployed application can efficiently handle various integration tasks. This platform also supports monitoring and management features tailored for applications, making it optimal for running live integrations. Other environments like Design Center and API Manager serve different purposes, such as designing applications or managing APIs, but they do not host the actual running application, which is the primary function of a CloudHub worker. Therefore, the correct environment for execution is indeed the CloudHub worker, enabling smooth operation and performance for Flow Designer applications.
