Individual requirements

• Update the /members/{handle} endpoint so the GET operation reads data from ES instead of DynamoDB.

• Update the /members/{handle}/traits endpoint so the GET operation reads data from ES instead of DynamoDB.

• For both endpoints, If there are no docs in ES, fall back to DynamoDB.
