uhm, rabbitMQ?
the problem is just Kafka being heavy?
Probably this. Rabbit is super easy to set up. Super lightweight. You can give it a try in half an hour.
Or a directory of text files, or a relational DB like postgres...
The options are many. It doesn't really matter, just do whatever will meet your needs!
while possible, those are hard to develop to be a reliable pub/sub messaging though.
It's all hard to make reliable, there are tradeoffs and dark spots around every corner.
