"If you have used Azure pipelines, in summary, this would be Azure Pipelines meets Github Actions."

I haven't used Azure pipelines, could you explain for an audience that doesn't have that comparative knowledge?

I know GitHub Actions pretty well but I'm having trouble understanding why I would want this extra layer on top of it.

Github does offer deployments https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment which is similar in comparison, but i feel there are lot of steps to go through to get this working and creating pipeline for simple workflows makes it hard.

Azure pipelines offered this by setting up reviewers, approvals, but reading more about Github deployments, they might be similar.

It sounds like approvals might be the key feature that Pippy is adding on top of GitHub Actions.

GHA already has approvals.

Pippy has stage level approvals. As far as I know,after playing with GHA a lot, the only approval is for the entire PR.
