Using a NULL Target in Replicate

[Dana_Baldwin]

Replicate has the capability to use a target endpoint for testing purposes that discards all the data, called a Null target. This can be helpful to:

Isolate performance issues to the source

Determine if an abnormally stopping task is due to the target or the source

Determine if memory consumption issues are due to the target or the source

Or any situation where you need to test a task but don't need the target data
