why do you need the volume here? your docker files compy all the files in and place them inside the docker image. In addition, running yarn will install dependencies and place them in /usr/src/app.
Adding the volume on the docker-compose ==> all files from the docker image will be removed and placed with the files inside the local path ./listings-service
