<a name="sns-deploy-test-fork-pipelines-sample-application"></a>

To accelerate the development of your event-driven applications, you can subscribe event-handling pipelines—powered by Amazon Event Fork Pipelines—to Amazon SNS topics. Amazon Event Fork Pipelines is a suite of open-source [nested applications](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-sam-template-nested-applications.html), based on the [Amazon Serverless Application Model](https://aws.amazon.com/serverless/sam/) (Amazon SAM), which you can deploy directly from the [Amazon Event Fork Pipelines suite](https://serverlessrepo.aws.amazon.com/applications?query=aws-event-fork-pipelines) (choose **Show apps that create custom IAM roles or resource policies**) into your Amazon account. For more information, see [How Amazon Event Fork Pipelines works](sns-fork-pipeline-as-subscriber.md#how-sns-fork-works).

This page shows how you can use the Amazon Web Services Management Console to deploy and test the Amazon Event Fork Pipelines sample application.

**Important**  
To avoid incurring unwanted costs after you finish deploying the Amazon Event Fork Pipelines sample application, delete its Amazon CloudFormation stack. For more information, see [Deleting a Stack on the Amazon CloudFormation Console](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/cfn-console-delete-stack.html) in the *Amazon CloudFormation User Guide*.
