How to solve the init_by_lua error in kong?

I have created a docker-compose file to spin up Postgres, kong-migration and kong in a container. All the containers were up and I was able to use kong for the first time. But yesterday onwards, I am getting the below error:

stack traceback: [C]: in function 'error' /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/kong/cmd/utils/migrations.lua:16: in function 'check_state' /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/kong/init.lua:432: in function 'init' init_by_lua:3: in main chunk nginx: [error] init_by_lua error: /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/kong/cmd/utils/migrations.lua:16: Database needs bootstrapping or is older than Kong 1.0.

To start a new installation from scratch, run 'kong migrations bootstrap'.

To migrate from a version older than 1.0, migrated to Kong 1.5.0 first. If you still have 'apis' entities, you can convert them to Routes and Services using the 'kong migrations migrate-apis' command in Kong 1.5.0.

Can't tell without the compose file, but the error is clear, Kong is connecting to uninitialized database. So it needs bootstrapping using kong migrations bootstrap.

Could be that the order in which the containers are started is wrong?
