There is no such functionality built into PostgreSQL.

An architecture like Oracle RAC is not ideal for high availability, since the
ASM/Tablespace/Segment "file system" is a single point of failure.

You can use Solutions like Patroni or repmgr for high availability.

That would not provode a multi-master solution, though.  There are some
commercial solutions for that, but be warned that it would require non-trivial
changes to your application.
