Piped consists of a frontend, a backend and a proxy. The frontend is the site you see, the backend stores all the data like video information, user accounts and subscriptions, and the proxy loads the videos you watch from YT. The only thing it doesn't do is download and store the videos, it'll always stream them on demand.
