Actually, containerization helped us a lot. Our automated CI/CD does linting, testing (we only test critical stuff atm), compilation and deployment in less than 5 minutes. We also double-check changes by requiring approval to merge into develop and a second approval if develop is merged into the main branch. If we need to deploy a hot fix, it is pushed to master directly with admin access or if there is something truly critically (which should never happen), we just block connections on our load balancers and/or clusters. Containers are imho one of the best things out there for deployment, as you can deploy changes to a cluster of servers without needing to reconfigure them and without the codes/containers interfering each other.
