What 32-bit systems are being used today? Is this on ARM or x86? or is it just running 32-bit software on x86-64/AMD64?

I think slightly more elaborate answers would benefit the person asking for this info. Maybe include the PostgreSQL version, system memory and a short description of your application.

What 32-bit systems are being used today?

I found these in the PostgreSQL Build Farm:

- AIX 7100-05-06-2028 gcc 8.3.0 (32 bit) ppc64 (POWER7) - Debian 7.0 gcc 4.7.2 i686 - Debian Sid gcc recent i386

Source: https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl

But there might be more that we don't know about.

Is this on ARM or x86?

Any of the supported platforms: x86, PowerPC, (S/390), SPARC, ARM, MIPS, RISC-V, and PA-RISC

is it just running 32-bit software on x86-64/AMD64

No, it's when running PostgreSQL on actual 32-bit hardware.
