It's pronounced Diane. I do data architecture, operations, and backend development. In my spare time I maintain Massive.js, a data mapper for Node.js and PostgreSQL.
There's a subtle but important distinction between "not there to be an O/RM" and "not an O/RM"! Massive fills the same role of helping you get data into and out of Postgres, but it's a different way of approaching the problem: data mapping as opposed to object/relational mapping. The way Massive is organized effectively constitutes an API for your database with tables, views, functions, and scripts as endpoints.
If you want regular type safety, there are TypeScript bindings. But the lack of models is by design: models are an artifact of O/RMs having come up in strictly object-oriented, strongly typed languages like Java and C#. In a functional-hybrid, dynamically typed language like JavaScript, there's little point to them.
Default values can (and really should no matter what, because the database is the final arbiter of what your data looks like) be specified on columns in your CREATE TABLE scripts.
