Description

Currently, the Prometheus API client operates synchronously, which may lead to performance bottlenecks in applications that require high throughput or low latency.
Request

Could the Prometheus API client be modified to support asynchronous operations? This enhancement would allow for non-blocking requests, improving overall application performance and responsiveness.
Additional Context

Asynchronous capabilities would enable better handling of multiple requests simultaneously, making it easier to integrate with modern frameworks that favor async programming patterns.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Ruby Prometheus API client’s current synchronous request path and its existing tests, since the issue names no files or entry points. Determine the supported asynchronous API and framework expectations before making changes. Done means the client supports non-blocking Prometheus requests while preserving existing behavior.
