when you specify volumes in docker-compose.yml file it mounts folder when running container. And in your case docker overrides /srv/app/api folder and as result node_modules missing. You can comment out volumes for api services and the container will work.

However is better to add /srv/app/api/node_modules as 2nd volume to api service. This will mount the node_modules directory to the host machine using the buildtime directory.
