It's not the same.

It's been a while, so I'm sure to get things wrong, but you basically had different package groups you could set up. So a service would have its group that it could update, test, and deploy with at once.

But like if I produced a package, and another team depended on it, there was no guarantee that the group I ran in CI had versions in common with the group that they deployed.

I also remember some weirdness just within one package, like maybe your PR build was based on your local group setup and not anything "official".

The coolest thing about it is that you could make a PR against multiple repos at the same time, even if one depended on the other. Like you could add a function to a library in one repo and call it from another repo in one PR.
