We recommend using spatial frameworks to speed up things like spatial joins, point-in-polygon, etc, like databricks mosaic or apache sedona. Without these frameworks, many of these operations result in unoptimized and explosive crossjoins.

What I do wish was possible was for serverless to warn that caching is not supported, but not error on a call. It makes switching between compute (serverless & all purpose) brittle and prevents code from easily being interoperable, no matter the comp...
