I'm lucky to run a system that is small enough that an entire deploy consists of around 2 seconds of downtime for the server to restart and start the new instance of the application.

We deploy new versions side by side and then then the webserver points at the new application on restart.

Only time it takes any longer is when there are sweeping database changes(schedule the downtime, inspect snapshots incase of issues, etc.)
