If you size your cluster right, you can send large messages of many megabytes. We send lots (millions per day) of medium sized messages (5-10k) without any issues.

Which would later be pushed to cloud ( through Kafka) and will be staged in Amazon S3 bucket in cloud. The first time entire relevant data will be pushed ( By MF Application ) to the cloud and then from the next time onward, any data which would be updated ( Any new transaction in MF ) will be sent to the cloud through Kafka. Can kafka support this type of streaming ? I am more concerned to understand what is the max sixe of intake of data Kafka can handle in use cases like this. Please help!

Do you have stats on the rate of DML in the primary source? These insert/update/deletes need to pass to Kafka as messages. Besides what Kafka can handle (largely depending on the architecture you have created and your Kafka cluster plus Zookeeper ensemble.), you will be constraint by the rate that you will be allowed to extract data from Mainframe and your shared network. Also for Kafka and Zookeeper you may think about deploying these as microservices.
