Perses support for Prometheus

Perses  is an open-source dashboard and visualization platform designed for observability, with native support for Prometheus as a data source. It enables users to create, manage, and share dashboards for monitoring metrics and visualizing data. Perses aims to provide a simple, flexible, and extensible alternative to other dashboarding tools, focusing on ease of use, community-driven development, GitOps capabilities and dashboard as code approach.

Here is an example of a Perses dashboard querying Prometheus for data:
