Downvote me all you want but “architects” need to look at the solution landscape at least once in 15 years.

Plenty areas of software where HAProxy is not part of the relevant "solution landscape".

Systems architect?! I want a load balancer. What’s your top 5 excluding HAProxy?

You don't need 5, especially when the load balancing is part of the network or infrastructure team that are a different group. Some companies have hardware load balancers, some use products like VMWare NSX or both, depending on the needs. When you are a Windows shop, HAProxy is not on the short list, hearing about it and actually knowing it are 2 different sides of the coin.
