Hotstar uses Firebase + BigQuery to roll out features & analyze data

Hotstar, India’s largest video streaming platform with 150 million monthly active users around the world, provides live-streaming of TV shows, movies, sports, and news on the go. By using a combination of Firebase products together, Hotstar safely rolled out new features to its watch screen during a major live-streaming event without disrupting users, sacrificing stability, or releasing a new build. They also used Firebase with BigQuery to analyze their event data and reduce app startup time.
