AWS SQS, RabbitMQ, or Redis. I would build on one of those 3 first, then migrate when throughput became an issue. I've had good experiences with Kinesis Firehose as well. I've yet to run into a workload that actually needed Kafka (and if you're not a Java shop don't add Java pieces unless you know you need what those Java pieces provide).
