Docker compose is not starting all containers (possibly Flask related?)

Question

Here's my compose file:

version: '2'
services:
  web:
    build: ./web
    ports: 
      - "3000:3000"
    links:
      - api
  api:
    build: ./api
    links:
      - db
  db:
    image: postgres

Here is my Dockerfile for the web service:

FROM node:8.9.3

WORKDIR /app

COPY ./package.json /app
COPY ./server /app/server
COPY ./client /app/client

EXPOSE 3000

ENV PORT 3000

RUN ["npm", "install"]
ENTRYPOINT ["npm", "start"]

And for the api project:

FROM python:3.6

WORKDIR /api

COPY ./requirements.txt /api/requirements.txt
COPY ./src /api/src

EXPOSE 80

ENV PORT 80

RUN ["pip", "install", "-r", "requirements.txt"]
RUN ["python", "src/main.py"]

When I run docker-compose up, only the api service starts. However, if I comment out the api service altogether and run docker-compose up again, both the web and db services start. Is there something wrong with how I've set up the api project? What am I doing wrong?

Just for completeness, here is the starting file for the web project (uses Express)

http.createServer(app).listen(app.get("port"), function() {
    console.log("Express server listening on port " + app.get("port"));
});

and the api proj (uses Flask):

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def hello():
    return "Hello World!"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True, host='0.0.0.0', port=80)

UPDATE

I commented out the main line of my flask server and all 3 services are able to start. The downside is... now i dont have an api server. What is it about Flask that makes the other services unusable?

UPDATE 2

Some have requested to see the logs.

Here are the logs if i start without flask:

Notice how when flask is included the other containers dont even build?

Docker compose is not starting all containers (possibly Flask related?)
