i can recommend BDR extension which comes at a prices if you need a proper Master-Master cluster setup. But you could also setup a couple of standalone postgresql

instances which replicate the written data via logical replication to a central database. this way you can scale IO load and have many master nodes for redundancy.

if this approach works for you depends on your use cases.
