The --no-recreate flag prevents recreation of containers, but in a blue-green deployment you want to create new containers with the new image. This flag will prevent the deployment from using the newly pulled images. Remove --no-recreate or use --force-recreate instead.

The --build flag will rebuild images locally on the server, but the images were already built and pushed in the build job. This defeats the purpose of the CI build step and could result in different images being deployed. Remove the --build flag to use the pre-built images from the registry.

The deps stage installs all dependencies (including devDependencies) but the comment on line 58-59 says it's copying 'production dependencies from deps stage'. The deps stage should use npm ci --legacy-peer-deps --only=production to match the intent. Currently, the runner stage will include devDependencies which inflates the production image size unnecessarily.

Copying node_modules from the deps stage and then running npx prisma generate on line 73 will modify the copied node_modules. This is fragile because the Prisma client should already be in node_modules from the deps stage. Consider either: (1) generating Prisma client in the deps stage before copying, or (2) accepting that devDependencies are needed in production for Prisma generation.
