Disclosure: I work for Heroku. Heroku launched a cheaper managed Kafka 1.5 months ago. It starts at $100/month (pro-rated to second). That's ~$3.33/day. Great if you want to play, learn, or test out a proof-of-concept.

It's multi-tenant, but interaction is nearly identical to interacting with a dedicated kafka cluster -- i.e. you can use any regular kafka client library.

Check out docs[1] and launch blog post[2]. Happy to answer any questions here or through email (contact info in profile).
