yes, nice move. my question was to make sure that the steps are not run in parallel because each one builds upon the previous one

if they are "calling" one another (or passing data) then the pipeline logic will deduce they cannot run in parallel 🙂 basically it is automatic

so my takeaway is that if the funcs are class methods the decorators wont break, right?

In theory, but the idea of the decorator is that it tracks the return value so it "knows" how to pass the data between the function (i.e. pass the reference to the data that is actually being stored as an artifact). This same mechanism allows it to know which function depends on which output of another function. This means that instantiating a class will actually be less efficient, and in practice might not work. does that make sense ?
