Abstract factory pattern application on multi-contract on-chain deployments (talk)
Blockchain is a new technology having many glitches and limitations. Ethereum being the most popular smart contract platform has inherent limitations regarding block gas limit where sum of all block’s transactions gas limits can’t go over certain level. There are many use-cases where some contracts can be deployed directly on-chain (from another contract), because they have wide usage (for example ERC20 Token contracts).
If there are many variations of those contracts that can be deployed directly on-chain, deploying them from single contract is problematic since those variations cost gas, and it’s easy to exceed block gas limit. That’s where Abstract Factory pattern and separation of concerns comes in use.
