I had a similar setup a couple of years ago, where I had to deploy without downtime. My solution was to simply have the old version running in parallel until I was certain the new version was ok

----------

Static website:

1. Setup NginX using a symlink to the current version

2. Copy the new files to a separate folder

3. Change the symlink to point to the new version

----------

REST service (behind NgninX reverse proxy):

1. Current version runs on port X.

2. Deploy new version and run it on port Y.

3. Update NginX config to use port Y and reload

4. If you need rollback, just reverse step 3.

This can be done using scripts or Ansible too if necessary.
