see the software url about that.

create a query layer for your database layers (as  I can understand you have already a Postgres with PostGIS enabled) Creating a query layer—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop  from the Desktop Software.

Alternative you can register your database with ArcGIS for Server.

After that publish the layers as Map Services Tutorial: Publishing a map service—Documentation | ArcGIS for Server

Finally access the services through Rest Interface  ArcGIS Server providing from ArcGIS Javascript API.
