I've used kafka to process data on the order of 50mb to 5000mb / second incoming. It has complexities that are worth eating for that type of use case.

For a message every 10 seconds, its use is ... hmm. It wouldn't be in my top 50 choices.

edit: and to be clear, I'm a huge fan of kafka: it sat there and silently just worked. It was great!
