Does Percona uses Galera for Multi-master MySQL replication? My client has bad experience with Galera & not willing to go for it. Is there any other work around?

Yes, the true multi-master, with conflict resolution, synchronous transaction replication, etc is using Galera library. More details: [url][https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/5.7/index.html[/url]](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/5.7/index.html%5B/url%5D)

Alternative solution is using MySQL Group Replication:
