If you mean you’re using your own database on some cloud server, use the HttpService and set up some sort of API on your server’s end to accept requests and return information from the database. Make sure to secure it properly so you dont leak user data.

What do you mean by that? Your question is confusing. If you want to connect to your own server, use HttpService like @steven4547466 stated. Unless you mean DataStoreService?

I mean I want My own cloud service not roblox cloud service

That’s why I said use HttpService. It allows you to make get and post requests to external services.

You’d be using an external database and via HttpService as aforementioned by others in this thread to communicate with it. Note that roblox isn’t responsible for any failiures on your database’s end, and there’s currently a 500 requests per minute per server limit on HttpService.

There’s not exactly a “step-by-step” guide to this because DataStoreService caters to most already.
This most likely WILL require you to use some other programming language alongside roblox’s lua, for the database’s end unless you use a no-sql approach.

There has been several posts similar to this before, have you had a look at them?
