# Subscribing AWS Event Fork Pipelines to an Amazon SNS topic
<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 AWS Event Fork Pipelines—to Amazon SNS topics. AWS 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 [AWS Serverless Application Model](https://aws.amazon.com/serverless/sam/) (AWS SAM), which you can deploy directly from the [AWS 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 AWS account. For more information, see [How AWS Event Fork Pipelines works](sns-fork-pipeline-as-subscriber.md#how-sns-fork-works).

This section show how you can use the AWS Management Console to deploy a pipeline and then subscribe AWS 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 AWS Lambda console, expand the **SAM template section**, choose **CloudFormation stack**, and then choose **Other Actions**, **Delete Stack**.
