Ok. You can deploy kafka in AWS. You can have brokers on AWS servers. Kafka is not a push system. So you will need someone writing to kafka and consuming from kafka. It will work. My suggestion will be to try it out on a smaller instance in AWS and see the effects.
As I do not know the actual use case about why you want to use kafka for, I cannot comment on whether it will work for you personalized use case.
