Applications containerized with docker will not communicate in a single Kubernetes pod - node.js

Question

My application consists of a UI built in react, an API, MQTT broker, and a webhook to monitor changes in a database all built with node.
The database has not yet been made into a volume, but is running on my local computer.
Here is my deployment.yml file
`
# defining Service
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: factoryforge
spec:
selector:
app: factoryforge
ports:
- port: 80

- port: 81

targetPort: 3001
- port: 82
name: dbmonitor
targetPort: 3002

name: ui
targetPort: 3003
type: LoadBalancer

- name: ui

ports:
- containerPort: 3003
`
...and the dockerbuild files for the four services
UI
`
FROM node:16
# Create app directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
# Install app dependencies

# where available (npm#5+)
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm i --f
# If you are building your code for production
# RUN npm ci --only=production
# Bundle app source

# Ports will have to be mapped to local ports when deployed with kubernetes
EXPOSE 3000
CMD [ "npm", "start" ]
`
API

MQTT

`
DBMonitor

`
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

i would say that in a standard Kubernetes workload you should start four different Pods with four different deployments. Then create four different services and you will see that they can communicate with one another.
With this, your pods will be simpler to check, and you are ready to scale the pods singularly.
Maybe I missed something?
