DigitalOcean Managed Kafka

Apache Kafka is the de facto standard for building real-time data streaming applications and is very popular in industries such as streaming, Internet of Things (IoT) and data analytics. However, many small businesses have been unable to take full advantage of Kafka due to its inherent operational complexity and high cost. Until now! Managed Kafka removes the significant difficulties of self-managing Kafka and includes benefits such as automatic updates, high availability and easy scalability.

DigitalOcean Managed Kafka starts at $147 per month.
