Fibers is a new feature in PHP 8.1 that brings lightweight and controlled concurrency to PHP.
PHP 8.1 Fibers introduce efficient, non-blocking execution, making Drupal faster and more responsive. Instead of waiting for sequential HTTP requests, Fibers run them simultaneously, reducing load times and enhancing user experience. This optimization is particularly useful when working with multiple cURL-based API calls or external data fetching.

Real-Time Use Case of PHP Fibers in Drupal
Since Drupal is single-threaded, we can't run true asynchronous tasks like in Node.js. However, PHP Fibers can help optimize performance by allowing tasks to be executed without blocking the main script.
