Host not yet available error during multi container as docker service

Runing docker services as multi container in gitlab for integration testing, getting postgresql host not yet available and timeout/inavlid argument for baseurl.
Image is working as expected during docker-compose but then failing to establish the communication between them when used as services in gitlab job.

Here is my Dockerfile:

ADD ./deployment_docker.tar codebeamer/tomcat/webapps/ROOT

And my docker-compose.yaml file:

Can you help me to understand how your problem with your gitlab ci pipeline is a docker problem?

From my perspective, it looks like a problem with the gitlab ci pipeline. If this is the case, then you might want to post this question in a gitlab-ci related forum.
