Subject: [PATCH] refactor: update Docker Compose configuration to use expose
 instead of ports

- Changed service configuration in docker-compose.yml to use 'expose' for backend and frontend services instead of 'ports'.
- This adjustment improves container networking by allowing internal communication without exposing ports to the host.
