This video tutorial covers the implementation of paging in an application. It explains the importance of paging to efficiently handle large data sets by returning only a subset of items to the client. The tutorial demonstrates how to implement paging using page number and page size parameters, and how to add metadata such as total item count and page links. It also discusses the placement of metadata in the response header and validates the implementation using Postman.
