Is there a low level description of the lambda api on node.js?

I'm having trouble walking through all the indirection in the AlexaSkill.js hierarchy in the scoreKeeper skill. Stuff just seems to happen magically and I'd like to demythologize it a little. I did not see a low level description of the api. Is there such a thing? thanks

It doesn't get much simpler than this: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/getting-started-custom-events.html Lambda simply calls an exported module function and waits for you to call the callback.
