Would you run Node.js, LevelDB (https://github.com/Level/levelup) based caches in my case, on 32-bit or 64-bit SmartOS containers? These servers are plain HTTP APIs behind an HAProxy front-end.

Is that still a question to ask?

I'd say always go with 64-bit.  The advantages of 32-bit (you might
see a small reduction in memory usage) are diminishing fast, and more
and more software is becoming 64-bit only (rust, go, java to name but
a few).


By going all 32-bit you are exposing yourself to a much larger range of
software which could become 64-bit only, and then you are at the mercy
of a greater number of other people's development schedules.
