    Addons page: https://elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-kafka

    Starting at $1,500/mo for 3 brokers, 150GB capacity, max 2 week retention. Plans up to 8 brokers, 2.4TB capacity, 6 week retention.

    I'm torn because it's quite expensive and 150GB seems kind of small. However, it's been quite an undertaking to try to set up a Zookeeper and Kafka cluster myself in AWS.
