What is the difference between these two objects in magento2? (Factory and Repository) I have seen that they have almost the same methods. What proper use does one have?

Different between factory and repository

Factory definition:

Factories are service classes that instantiate non-injectable classes, that is, models that represent a database entity. They create a layer of abstraction between the ObjectManager and business code.

Definition of repository:

A repository object is responsible for reading and writing your object information to an object store

See more details at When Should We Use a Repository and Factory in Magento 2?
