Bucardo with multi-master is fantastic when a DBA can configure the multi-master and manage future changes. Bucardo requires each table to have proper Bucardo configuration and each table on each host to have the proper schema, since Bucardo does not replicate schema changes.

Compared to streaming replication, during high load, Bucardo sync is also quite expensive for a replication mechanism.

As a service, Bucardo's requirements did not scale for us. It created to many caveats. The limitations of Bucardo for our service became obvious quickly.
