I noticed that 20K requests per second for the link service is not out of the range for a Postgres setup -- especially with a cache in front. Is this worth mentioning in an interview (not as the main design) or is it considered unhelpful and old fashioned thinking?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

It depends. Some interviewers don't mind if you specify a technology/tool that will help you achieve certain system design goals. In our experience, mostly people focus on designing microservices/databases etc., without discussing much on a certain technology.
