I asked at https://community.grafana.com/t/what-is-loki-backend/102047

Tony pointed the diagram is out-of-date.

It would be great to update architecture diagram to help everyone know more how Loki works, thanks! 馃槂

Research direction
The issue requests an updated architecture diagram to clarify the role of 'loki backend' and reflect current architecture. The reporter noted that Tony confirmed the diagram is out of date. Research should review the existing diagram at the Loki documentation, understand the current components (including loki backend), and create a new diagram using an approved tool. The assignee may provide guidance on scope or preferred format.
