Thanks for the suggestion! I failed to mention that I export my workflow on a step function. So the @end step automatically gets exported to a step, that is an AWS Batch Execution step. So essentially, I love the export to step function feature as it gives me an interface to the workflow that's super easy to integrate, but I can't figure out how to skip the end step from launching a container since it's a step in the Step Function. I tried simply removing it, but obviously metaflow ultimately fails the execution since @end step is missing. Although the end step finishes almost instantly since it's empty, it does take a toll on my compute environment VPU capacity, since it constantly requests 1 VCPU for essentially no work
