How to fix drush issue "Could not bootstrap at phase 5"?

I installed drush via Composer. I am using drush 9.5.2 with Drupal 8.6.4.

I mention that everything is fine on local. However, in a docker instance in GitLab CI, when I execute vendor/bin/drush updatedb -y -vvv, I get:

I mention that the command mysql -V is working.

And when I execute vendor/bin/drush sql:connect -vvv, I get:

 [preflight] Config paths: /builds/v2/my-project/vendor/drush/drush/drush.yml,/builds/v2/my-project/drush/drush.yml  [preflight] Alias paths: /builds/v2/my-project/web/drush/sites,/builds/v2/my-project/drush/sites  [preflight] Commandfile search paths: /builds/v2/my-project/vendor/drush/drush/src,/builds/v2/my-project/drush  [bootstrap] Starting bootstrap to max [0.1 sec, 8.27 MB]  [bootstrap] Drush bootstrap phase: bootstrapDrupalRoot() [0.1 sec, 8.4 MB]  [bootstrap] Change working directory to /builds/v2/my-project/web [0.1 sec, 8.4 MB]  [bootstrap] Initialized Drupal 8.6.4 root directory at /builds/v2/my-project/web [0.1 sec, 8.4 MB]  [bootstrap] Drush bootstrap phase: bootstrapDrupalSite() [0.11 sec, 8.92 MB]  [bootstrap] Initialized Drupal site default at sites/default [0.11 sec, 8.92 MB]  [bootstrap] Drush bootstrap phase: bootstrapDrupalConfiguration() [0.11 sec, 8.92 MB]  [debug] Add service modifier [0.11 sec, 9.11 MB] mysql --user=my_project --password=xxx --database=my_project --host=xxx.rds.amazonaws.com --port=3306 -A

So, no problem with drush sql:connect.

Does the notice “Missing database table: key_value” could cause the issue?
How could we troubleshoot the issue?

Just in case, here is the build part of my gitlab-ci.yml:

build:   stage: build    before_script:     - apt-get update      #install additional gd extension, that is required by Drupal     - apt-get install libpng-dev -y     - docker-php-ext-install gd      #install mysql-cli     - apt-get install -y mysql-client      #install composer     - apt-get install zip unzip     - php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"     - php composer-setup.php     - php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"      #install composer package to run parallel tasks     - composer -n global require -n "hirak/prestissimo"    script:     - mysql -V     - php composer.phar install     - vendor/bin/drush     - vendor/bin/drush sql:connect -vvv     - vendor/bin/drush updatedb -y -vvv     - vendor/bin/drush config-import -y     - vendor/bin/drush cache-rebuild -y
