restart: no is default mode. There is line inside your docker-compose file with restart: no or restart: unless-stopped. It also means that when you boot your system, it (re)starts container(s) again as long as docker daemon. Details
You need to change restart to no or on-failure, example:

version: '2.1'
services:
    backend:
        restart: on-failure
        build:
            args:
                USER_ID: ${USER_ID}
            context: codebase/namp-backend
            dockerfile: Dockerfile.dev
        ports:
          - "5001:5001"
          - "5851:5851"
        volumes:
          - ./codebase/namp-backend:/codebase
        environment:

Also docker-compose down for most cases, gives you the same result - do not start containers while (docker) system startup, except: containers will be deleted after this, not stopped.
