I have three different images related to my application which works fine in docker-compose and has issues running on kubernetes cluster in GCP.
Below is the deployment file.

The connection between mysql and ui service also works fine and my data's are getting migrated without any issues. But the connection is not established between the service and the ui.
Why ui is not able to access service in my application?
I am assuming by "service" you are referring to your "dgservice". With the yaml presented above, I believe you also need to specify the DG_SERVICE_PORT (port 8080) to correctly access "dgservice".
As mentioned by Suresh in the comments, you should expose internal services using ClusterIP type. The NodePort is a superset of ClusterIP, and will expose the service internally to your cluster at service-name:port, and externally at node-ip:nodeport, targeting your deployment/pod at targetport.
As your deployment has the following lables so service need to have same labels in order to create endpoint object
endpoints are the API object behind a service. The endpoints are where a service will route connections to when a connection is made to the ClusterIP of a service
Following are the labels of deployments
