This study analyzes availability metrics in serverless edge computing systems, combining empirical platform evaluation with a review of 45 research publications. It proposes a comprehensive framework for measuring reliability, identifies hybrid fault tolerance and adaptive scheduling as key strategies, and highlights performance variability and regional disparities as critical challenges. The findings support the development of more resilient and user-centric edge architectures.
