# Realtime Analytics For Everyone

**[Firebase](https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Firebase Analytics is rolling out StreamView and DebugView to general availability. StreamView shows a live visualization of app events as they arrive, including geographic breakdowns, user properties, custom event parameters, and a User Snapshot feature that follows a single random user's event stream in real time. DebugView lets developers see events reported from a specific development device immediately, rather than waiting hours, and flags events with invalid parameters before publishing. Both complement existing real-time BigQuery export and real-time conversions launched previously, giving non-BigQuery users faster visibility into app analytics.

## Questions this post answers

### What is StreamView in Firebase Analytics?

StreamView is a Firebase Analytics feature that visualizes events in real time as they flow into Firebase Analytics, showing where users are located down to the city level, which user properties and events are common, and custom event parameter breakdowns. It also includes a User Snapshot view that streams live events from a single random user, filterable by location and app version.

_Developers rolling out real-time app monitoring can track Firebase updates like this on daily.dev._

### How can I check if my Firebase Analytics events are being logged correctly while building my app?

Use DebugView, a Firebase Analytics feature that shows events, parameters, and user properties reported from any individual development device with Analytics Debugging turned on. It immediately displays incoming events, rather than the several-hour delay typical of standard reporting, and highlights events with invalid parameters so issues can be fixed before publishing.

_Anyone debugging analytics instrumentation can follow tooling updates like this on daily.dev._

### Do I still need BigQuery if I use Firebase Analytics StreamView?

Yes, BigQuery is still needed for full and complete reports or cross-referencing data sets, since StreamView is meant for real-time visualization rather than deep analysis. StreamView complements the real-time BigQuery export Firebase Analytics launched earlier by giving non-BigQuery users a live view of events without hours of delay.

_Teams weighing real-time dashboards against full data warehouse exports can track these tradeoffs on daily.dev._
