    The App Engine Management Center \(AEMC\) provides a unified experience for deploying custom applications built in App Engine Studio, Creator Studio, and ServiceNow Studio. AEMC uses Pipelines and Deployments to move applications between instances as they are prepared for release. In AEMC, you can customize your pipeline, review, approve, and reject deployment requests, and schedule deployments all in one centralized location.
