/api/v3/me endpoint is painfully slow

Context

When entering carto.com, loading the Dashboard information is really slow. With my team account, the api/v3/me endpoint takes ~1.5 seconds to load.

Additional info

Checking the load times in Kibana you can see load times of up to 5 seconds and you can see that team accounts take more or less the same time, so the load time might grow with the team size (unchecked supposition).

@ramiroaznar Can you check if this can be added to RT, please?

That would alleviate the problem a lot since the dashboard is a more common entry point than for instance the account page.

Just doing that won’t alleviate the problem without more changes. We cannot remove it from that endpoint since itr’s used in other parts of the frontend, and that endpoint must contain anything that is needed for frontend (since it’s the only way front statics know how to get information from backend). So, even if it’s used only in profile pages, we still need it in that endpoint. Also, in the dashboard, there is also (at least) the enable/disabled import button, so that dropdown is not the only place.

We would have to remove or change all usages of that from the frontend before we can remove it from that endpoint. My point is that it’s probably not such a quick fix as it looks like.
