Sure, but the underlying primitives are better. Specifically it supports quite flexible binary replication including the new logical replication features.
With this you can build things like Manatee[1] which enable effectively seamless HA. The platform I am currently working on Flynn[2] uses a variant of this state machine to implement an effectively maintenance free Postgres cluster.<p>In future though there will be support for bi-directional replication in Postgres, i.e true multi-master support.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;joyent&#x2F;manatee" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;joyent&#x2F;manatee</a>
