The lambda code is on github, when does it sync to the nodes, how fast?

Separate process that does the code sync that runs every few hours. Customers cannot trigger an immediate deploy.

What are the triggers for running?

Scheduled time (cron expression). What about preventing too frequent running?

Event?

Block range?

Can the code assume that it's stateful?

No, the nodes may be reset at any time so they are stateless. They may implement memory based caching mechanisms for optimization purposes. If persistent state is required then Ethereum should be used for now.

Can the implementor require consensus for side effects?

For example, to send a transaction only if a majority of nodes agree - for example, on stop loss unlike auto compounding, deciding to exit a position needs to be a little more secure.

How does the customer pay for the gas costs?

Also, bidding on gas amount.

How to make sure we don't run more than once if needed?
