carbon daemon that accepts and stores metrics
whisper database where metrics are kept
web app that reads metrics and processes them using a comprehensive list of supported functions

Every component exposes several APIs that are used by other components. All of them are written in Python.

Two more components are often used together with Graphite:

StatsD — a Node.js app that accepts metrics and aggregates them before submitting to carbon;
Grafana — web dashboard for Graphite (and other backends)

This set of images replaces original carbon daemon and StatsD aggregation daemon with other compatible components to improve performance and throughput.

Grafana 3 is also included.
