The Simple Factory is the foundation and the default approach that emerges spontaneously whenever you need to centralize the object creation logic based on a selector (string or enum).

The Abstract Factory is an essential creational pattern for managing the complexity of systems that require the use of entire families of related and compatible objects. Unlike the Factory Method, which creates a single object, the Abstract Factory defines an interface for creating a coherent set of products (e.g., connection, command builder, and parser), ensuring that incompatible components are never combined. This approach reduces code coupling, makes it more flexible, and adheres to the Open-Closed Principle, allowing you to change the entire product family at runtime without altering the client logic.
