+    crops of STAC item assets. Presumably, someone will have run a STAC query to
+    enumerage those items and fill the cache. Without the cache the bottleneck
+    will become the large number of small, single-item queries to pgstac.

+    #    without injected links, and calling stac_fastapi here to reproduct
+    #    the behavior of the STAC API feels wrong.
+    # 2. We have no guarantee of temporal locality between the two services.
+    #    In practice, say a client first enumerates many STAC items for analysis
+    #    (cache filled). Then some time has passed, the cache expires, and the
+    #    client starts issuing tiler calls to read asset data. Then, the cache,
+    #    which was full, will be empty and we will have to call pgstac again.
