<a name="sns-subscribe-event-fork-pipelines"></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 section show how you can use the Amazon Web Services Management Console to deploy a pipeline and then subscribe Amazon Event Fork Pipelines to an Amazon SNS topic. Before you begin, [create an Amazon SNS topic](sns-create-topic.md).

To delete the resources that comprise a pipeline, find the pipeline on the **Applications** page of on the Amazon Lambda console, expand the **SAM template section**, choose **CloudFormation stack**, and then choose **Other Actions**, **Delete Stack**.
