Systems and methods are provided for utilizing rules for placement of objects in storage in a manner that improves retrieval times relative to a default ordering utilized by an object storage system. For example, a request to store an object in a persistent storage of a data storage system may be received, metadata associated with the request may then be parsed to identify a signal for placement of the object within the persistent storage, and a rule may be identified for placement of objects associated with that signal, such as by indicating a desired grouping or ordering of objects associated with the signal. A particular storage location for the object may then be determined within the persistent storage based at least in part on the signal, the rule, and previously determined storage locations of one or more other data objects associated with the signal.
