@context Why does this service use a custom serializer instead of ActiveModel? Is that intentional? PR #423

critical.cx APP 3:00 AM PST

Yes, intentional. The custom serializer in UserSerializer was added in commit a3f2b1 (March 2024) because:

• ActiveModel serializers were causing N+1 queries on user associations
• Custom implementation uses includes(:roles, :permissions)
• Performance improved from 200ms to 15ms on the users endpoint

Makes sense, approving the PR. Thanks!
