The video tutorial explains AWS Lambda, a serverless computing service that allows users to run code without managing servers. It highlights the cost-saving benefits of paying only for consumed processing time and the ease of development by separating front-end and back-end tasks. The tutorial covers Lambda's main uses, such as real-time file and stream processing, and its ability to replace Cron jobs. It also discusses the wide range of supported programming languages and the integration with various AWS services, enabling flexible and powerful data processing solutions.
