Rehearse what you already know and go into the interview with solid knowledge of the claimed skill level. Be honest about your skill level. A good interviewer will spot fraud and disqualify you for it.
This only helps when you’ve already demonstrated technical competence or ability imo. The company I work for would immediately disqualify anyone who fails to meet the technical bar regardless of how interested they are in learning about our scaling goals.
If it is face to face - do a trial run on the route so that on the day you don't have the worry about where to go and how to get there. This reduces the source of stress with one less thing to worry about.
If it is remote - make sure that you can connect and see/hear/be heard. Most offer a test facility. Making sure that everything works on your end reduces the stress of trying to get things to work on the day.
Do a quick search on the company and glance through the Glassdoor / Fishbowl reviews.
Get a good nights sleep beforehand (as hard as it may be).
Knowing where to go or knowing that you can easily conect up for the remote interview allows you to focus on the important stuff (i.e. selling yourself and your abilities!).
