It's definitely DSQL with the multi-region active active feature[1].

DSQL only uses Postgres for the query processor layer, so it doesn't require a replication library within postgres itself. Definitely NOT from DSQL.

Rather, DSQL seems to do its region replication using the distributed journal abstraction [2].
