Does the ∞-category of Derived/Spectral schemes admit all colimits over constant diagrams?

In the case of ordinary schemes, all coproducts exist, so given any constant diagram $D_S:C\to \operatorname{Sch}$, the colimit over $D_S$ is isomorphic to the coproduct of $S$ over the connected ...

The virtual fundamental class as derived intersection

Say $X$ is a smooth projective variety and $\beta\in H_2(X)$ is a class. Then there is a finite-type proper scheme (or in general, stack) $SM : = \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}(X,\beta)$ of stable maps ...
